aDAT vs cDAT

[sbesbesbe]

Hi there SDN

I'm gonna post this here because I posted this on canadian SDN and seriously that forum is dead LOL

I was just wondering...

american DAT has:
BIO 40Qs, GC 30Qs, OC 30Qs, QR 40Qs, RC 3passages, PAT 90Qs

canadian DAT has:
BIO 40Qs, GC 30Qs, RC 3passages, PAT 90Qs

for those who's taken BOTH,
for the canadian DAT, are BIO and GC questions just like the american?
or is it more in depth/detailed?
I'm wondering if that's NOT the case...canadian DAT should be much much easier since it's missing 2 subjects...

seems kinda unfair though...
although maybe it's because
aDAT, you can take it anytime (summer for example without taking any courses)
vs
cDAT, in Nov and Feb (while going to school and taking full course load)

what do you guys think?
is this why some US dental schools "prefer" aDAT over cDAT?

so i know a couple of ppl who have take both within the same time frame approximately. they studied equally for both and got higher on the american dat but said the difficulty in questions are the same but for some reason every1 i know says u will end up achieving a higher score on the american dat than canadian... considering that they use each other's questions i would also assume the difficulty is the same...
