The Capital Prep team, ready to answer your question

Questions, answered

What's inside the study portal?

The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it; Standard carries the Money-Back Guarantee and SurePass the SurePass Guarantee.

How does the SurePass Guarantee work?

Standard and SurePass carry it. Score 85%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On SurePass, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $150 retake fee. A refund also comes with free access to keep preparing — 90 more days on Standard, another year on SurePass. Starter carries no refund — don't pass, upload your score report, and we add 30 more days of access, free. Every free period is counted from the earliest date your exam allows a retake. You file the claim in your study portal with your official score report.

The ADA has no passing score — so what counts as not passing?

What counts as not passing: the ATDH has no official passing score — each program sets its own cut, and your score report shows a scale score, not a pass or fail. So this guarantee is judged on one number we state up front: an ATDH Overall scale score under 320 on your official ATDH score report counts as not passing. We state it up front because the alternative would be a guarantee nobody could ever settle: your report shows eight scale scores from 200 to 500 and no verdict, and every dental hygiene program decides for itself what it will accept. Our 85% mock target is a different number and a different thing — it is our readiness bar, not the ADA's.

How many full-length mocks do I get?

Four scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 240-question paper weighted to the ADA's six sections and timed to the real 230 minutes of item time. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. The bank is 1,100+ questions, so even after four scored sittings there are questions you have never seen.

Which pass should I buy?

SurePass, for almost everyone: today it costs the same as Standard, it runs a full year, and it is the only pass that pays your retake fee if you don't pass (and adds another year free). Standard is a month of access with the Money-Back Guarantee — a refund plus 90 more days if you don't pass. Starter is one week of access with no refund — don't pass and you get 30 more days free.

What does the test itself cost, and what if I have to sit it again?

The ADA charges a single examination fee, and a retake costs the same again — verbatim from the Candidate Guide, "candidates are required to submit a new application and fee for each testing attempt". There is no discounted retake anywhere in its fee table. That is why SurePass covers your full $150 retake fee if you qualify. ⚠️ The bigger cost is the calendar: you must wait 60 days between attempts, and after a third attempt you need the ADA's written permission and may sit only once per 12 months.

What is on the test?

240 items in six separately timed sections, and it is not adaptive — the ADA says so in as many words. Reading Comprehension 40 items, Language Usage 40, Quantitative Reasoning 40, Perceptual Ability 60, Biology 30, General Chemistry 30. That is 230 minutes of item time inside a 290-minute appointment that also holds a tutorial, two optional 15-minute breaks and a survey. Our bank is weighted to exactly those six shares.

How does Perceptual Ability work — can you even practice that?

Yes, and it is a quarter of the paper, so it is the section most worth practicing. All six ADA subtests are here — apertures, view recognition, angle discrimination, paper folding, cube counting and 3D form development — and every item ships the actual figure, drawn and rendered, not a description of one. You answer by reading the picture, which is what the real section asks of you.

How is it scored?

Rasch item-response theory, equated across forms, reported as scale scores from 200 to 500 in 10-point increments. You get eight of them: an ATDH Overall, an English Language Skills score, and one for each of the six disciplines. The Overall is the average of the six discipline scales rounded to the nearest ten. The ADA is explicit that these are neither raw scores nor percentiles, so no percentage — including ours — maps onto them.

Are the questions like the real exam?

Every item is written to the ADA's own six-section outline, weighted section by section, with four options and a rationale on each. We also run a construction audit nobody else in this category runs: a reader who cannot see the question, only the options, is measured against pure guessing, and we publish the result rather than claim it. On this bank that reader scores 37.5% against the 25% a coin-flip gives — above our own acceptance band, which is why this exam carries a stricter 85% guarantee bar than our others rather than a quieter one. What we will not suggest is that these questions appear on the real test. They do not, and no practice score can promise you the score you want.

What happens when my pass expires?

Your account stays; the paid features stop. Your notes, highlights and flashcard history are all still there if you come back, and SurePass runs a full year — and adds another year free if you don't pass.

My test date moved. Does the plan adjust?

Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — it works backwards from your date, so a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost.

Can I use it on my phone, and does it work offline?

Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, so you can revise with no signal. The whole study guide downloads too, narrated audio included; scored mocks and the tutor still need a connection.

Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?

Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on Starter, 48 hours on Standard, or 72 hours on SurePass, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.

Why are SurePass guarantees limited?

Because we honor them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment we may genuinely pay out, so a limited number opens for this exam each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
