For one, F*** THE PROMETRIC CENTER… The one in Van Nuys, CA. Wow… How Rude can some people Be???How Annoying can some people get.
An older lady 50s or 60s years old, right next to ME, pushing down on those keys on the keyboard like she has NEVER used a F****** keyboard for 4.5 hours is VERY ANNOYING. The headphones don't do jack to help noises like that.
I couldNOT concentrate, told them, they said it is what it is. Tried to use the bathroom in between my RC and QR for a minute, ran out, the stupid BITCH runs in front of me like it's a f***** prison. Where do you think you're going??? I'm like, how can I use the bathroom ( I wasn't trying to leave or anything, I just opened the door to go out to their office, so she tells me I have to sign out, I'm like okay, where the sign out form (I had a hurry tone ON while talking to her) she goes "How rude!! Other people are using it (some guy was doing his finger print an pictures, they use the same notebook for both things), you have to wait… I swear to god, a whole bunch of crazy things went through my mind in like a split second and almost went nuttz, but I knew the test was more important so I ran in the test room again with the piss still inside of me and dealt with it.
I'm going to make sure I make a couple of phone calls and tell them what happened and I put everything down on their stupid survey at the end.
1. I COULD NOT, I SWEAR TO GOD, I COULD NOT concentrate for a single MINUTE because of the lady next to me, especially for the RC section.
2. I truly realized that they don't give a damn about us students, or how we do, what we get, or anything like that. The girl in there was constantly on the phone with her boyfriend or some **** (when I checked in, and when I took my break)…

Anyways, the test.

Bio was fair. Just fair. Read everything you can. Read Kaplan twice and read the destroyer like 4 times and understand everything. Destroyer is KEY. No im not advertising...
Gchem, kind of time consuming but again fair and straight forward I thought, but very time consuming for some reason. I couldn't just skip any question and had to do them because I consider myself pretty good at gchem. Don't do what I did.
Ochem: I got to ochem with 17 mins left on the clock and I totally got screwed, TOTALLY. I could NOT believe my eyes. 2 HNMR, 2 CNMR, 1 IR and another LAB question for a total of 6. How is this fair?? I don't understand. I missed all NMR and CNMR, because I thought max 1 would show up, I ran out of time and show on my score...

QR. Skip it if you give it over 5% that you may NOT be able to solve it. Just skip and get the easy one. Okay over all but in a very bad time crunch and I mean a really bad ONE. Kaplan is good.
RC. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow The Piano article is ridicules, what the f***, NO, really, WHAT THE F***? Crazy article asking way too in depth question for a 20 minute time slot. Waaaaaay too in depth, the other two were really easy articles.
PA: I seriously found 3 errors in their size consistency for key whole thing, 1 q on TFE has NO right answer, 1 q on paper fold had more than one possible answer choice. Angles were ok, cube was easy, whole punch was okay but the paper is set up weird, its like there are 6 lines instead of 4. Or maybe it was my eyes.

Anyways,
Scores… let me know if I have a chance at an interview or two.

I think you are fine. Nice work!


Btw, a while ago, I dared people to go to this prometric center at Van Nuys because they have one of the strictest representatives.
I think my point has been proven by OP's experience.

Hi there! I am sorry for the bad experience. The environment you took the test play a strong factor on how you will do well. Hope for the best. However, with Ochem 16 i suggest you added more school. Other scores are fine. Gluck
 
It must feel good to be done!

On another note, how did you get a TS of 19? I also had a 19TS.....but with 20bio, 20oc, and 18gc?? I don't understand.
 
Sorry to hear that!
I had the same kina experience three years ago. See if you can beat this. The prometric person left and asked her 14-15 years old daughter to take care of the center!!
The little girl who obviously had no idea about what she was supposed to do, asked me to come out every time my laminated sheet was full, because she had to wipe it off for me!! I was like are you f***kidding me? But she said she has been told to do this. It is the law and the examiners are not allowed to take anything in besides the marker and the sheets. So I had to run out every single time and ask her to wipe my laminated sheet for me.
I ended up with 15AA, filed a complain, but nothing happened.

So I hope you feel a little better now. At least your scores are fine and hopefully will get you somewhere. GL:luck:

It's because TS is graded based on how many you got right out of 100 SNS Qs, and OP may have got high ends on two or all three sections.

For example, people get 19 on bio if they get 30~33 Qs right. And OP got 33 and just missed 20 by 1 question.
 
wow man that sucks. I would just tell the lady to stop banging on the keyboard and its a huge distraction. If she didn't, yell /curse at her, you have nothing to lose except your score going down.

You might be right on that but his AA doesn't average out to be 18...in fact last time i checked 87/5 is 17.4 hence AA of 17. I don't know maybe a typo on OP's part?

i feel terrible for u and OP, i mean that...is...bad. My testing center was real chill, i actually went to use the bathroom before the break (cuz i finished PAT real fast and had extra time), and they didn't really ask me if i was on break and just said sign out then sign in, they also provide me with sharpie and eraser in the room. i guess i was lucky i didn't have to ask 15 yr olds to wipe my sheet for me...
 
hi ddsguyla, congrats on being done and i am really sorry to hear that u had to deal with all those in the middle of ur test. can u plz post ur topscore and achiever scores. thanks
 
hi ddsguyla, congrats on being done and i am really sorry to hear that u had to deal with all those in the middle of ur test. can u plz post ur topscore and achiever scores. thanks


yeah...

but heres the thing... I took those test ways before I was done actually studying... the first achiever I took like 2 months ago and then every week or every two weeks I would take another one of achiever or topscore or the kaplan ones.

Achiever I did really bad
bio 16s
gchem 17-18ish
ochem 16-19


Topscore was much better

bio 18s
gchem 19s
ochem 18s


Kaplan was really weird. On the midterm I messed up pretty bad.

16-17s

on final i did better 18-19s...



again all these scores are old.. i did the majority of my studying the past 2-3 weeks. The tests I took before that... I just didnt wanna take a test before my actual DAT just incase I got a low score, I didnt wanna bring my self conf down.
 
Sorry to hear this man. I took mine in Van Nuys prometrics like a week ago. There was a blonde 60 year old woman who was so rude. I went to the restroom and found out the door to be closed. I knocked on the door, the old bitch came to open the door, and told me "it only takes a muscle to open the door". I totally got angry on what she said, and replied back, " I have a big one!". I saw her turning red, but she could not reply back. I also noticed that the orange headphones were so wack, and did not help at all. I did not have somone next to me knocking on the keyboard though. khodetam bayad ye chizi be on baghal dastit migofti.

boro dahanamo gayeed... i mean seriouly destroyed my confidence and concentration. at that second man, there are so many things going through your mind (which im sure you already know) that i didnt even think twice about looking over to her side and telling her to shut up... I didnt want them to come out and say, "oh there, you cheated", you know?? They're already crazy so whatever.

i'm gonna call ADA and Make sure I get a free RETAKE.. this is bullS***... I didnt study 2.5 months for this crap.
I dont even know what I missed. I almost knew every single question on the bio and gchem bekhoda... and that only means that I was very disturbed at the time and not choosing the right answers or doing the work correctly.



heres another addition to all the other s*** that went wrong...

so as soon as I walked in the morning, I had a couple of review notes with me that I place in my locker.. some forumlars and important stuff you know...

so as soon as I walked in, i put it all down on one of the sheets that they give you, since the info was still fresh... Bro I had all formular and concepts like a full page worth that I wrote down during the tuturial for ochem, gchem, bio, and some math forumals, etc... I'm not really good in math.

I swear, during the test like mid Gchem time, this lady was making so much F****** noise that I completely lost what I was doing and accidently erased everything off my other board instead of the one that was right infront of me.

that just hit me really hard...

you think they'll undrestand and let me retake or something like that??? NOT in van nuys.
Prometric is going to get it from me, i have promised myself to make sure that lady stops working there ASAP....

An older lady 50s or 60s years old, right next to ME, pushing down on those keys on the keyboard like she has NEVER used a F****** keyboard for 4.5 hours is VERY ANNOYING. The headphones don’t do jack to help noises like that.
I couldNOT concentrate, told them, they said it is what it is. Tried to use the bathroom in between my RC and QR for a minute, ran out, the stupid BITCH runs in front of me like it’s a f***** prison. Where do you think you’re going??? I’m like, how can I use the bathroom ( I wasn’t trying to leave or anything, I just opened the door to go out to their office, so she tells me I have to sign out, I’m like okay, where the sign out form (I had a hurry tone ON while talking to her) she goes “How rude!! Other people are using it (some guy was doing his finger print an pictures, they use the same notebook for both things), you have to wait… I swear to god, a whole bunch of crazy things went through my mind in like a split second and almost went nuttz, but I knew the test was more important so I ran in the test room again with the piss still inside of me and dealt with it.
I’m going to make sure I make a couple of phone calls and tell them what happened and I put everything down on their stupid survey at the end.
1. I COULD NOT, I SWEAR TO GOD, I COULD NOT concentrate for a single MINUTE because of the lady next to me, especially for the RC section.
2. I truly realized that they don’t give a damn about us students, or how we do, what we get, or anything like that. The girl in there was constantly on the phone with her boyfriend or some **** (when I checked in, and when I took my break)…

Anyways, the test.

Bio was fair. Just fair. Read everything you can. Read Kaplan twice and read the destroyer like 4 times and understand everything. Destroyer is KEY. No im not advertising...
Gchem, kind of time consuming but again fair and straight forward I thought, but very time consuming for some reason. I couldn’t just skip any question and had to do them because I consider myself pretty good at gchem. Don’t do what I did.
Ochem: I got to ochem with 17 mins left on the clock and I totally got screwed, TOTALLY. I could NOT believe my eyes. 2 HNMR, 2 CNMR, 1 IR and another LAB question for a total of 6. How is this fair?? I don’t understand. I missed all NMR and CNMR, because I thought max 1 would show up, I ran out of time and show on my score...

QR. Skip it if you give it over 5% that you may NOT be able to solve it. Just skip and get the easy one. Okay over all but in a very bad time crunch and I mean a really bad ONE. Kaplan is good.
RC. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow The Piano article is ridicules, what the f***, NO, really, WHAT THE F***? Crazy article asking way too in depth question for a 20 minute time slot. Waaaaaay too in depth, the other two were really easy articles.
PA: I seriously found 3 errors in their size consistency for key whole thing, 1 q on TFE has NO right answer, 1 q on paper fold had more than one possible answer choice. Angles were ok, cube was easy, whole punch was okay but the paper is set up weird, its like there are 6 lines instead of 4. Or maybe it was my eyes.

those parts made me lol.

that sucks you sat next to a noisy test taker but what can you do😕 i'm surprised those big ass headphones didn't help though. that lady must've been maaaashing on that keyboard. the bathroom sign out thing is fair...you're suppose to sign in and out every time and with your license and the finger print thing.

reading the description in your post, you must feel really crappy. Your post did, however, make me laugh pretty hard. Anyways, i'm sorry to hear that and hope things work out for you.

Really??? for 4.5 hours? I highly doubt that. You're right though about how annoying the typing is as I had this problem myself when I took it. They were typing for maybe 25 minutes. The orange headphones didn't really do its job.

...Tried to use the bathroom in between my RC and QR for a minute, ran out, the stupid BITCH runs in front of me like it's a f***** prison....

They have strict rules and policies at those test centers. Of course they're gonna keep a close eye on everyone. You should have known to sign out every time you left the room.

...I'm going to make sure I make a couple of phone calls and tell them what happened and I put everything down on their stupid survey at the end.....

I highly doubt that calling ADA will do anything in terms of getting your money back or getting a free retake.

RC. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow The Piano article is ridicules, what the f***, NO, really, WHAT THE F***? Crazy article asking way too in depth question for a 20 minute time slot. Waaaaaay too in depth, the other two were really easy articles...

So what? you expect them to give you 3 EASY passages on the DAT? What kind of a test do you think this is?

PA: I seriously found 3 errors in their size consistency for key whole thing....

Ok i understand your frustrations in getting average to subpar scores (on SDN), but seriously, I'm beginning to think you're just a pathalogic exaggerator/complainer and in all honesty, am extremely skeptical of your claims. Sorry to call you out on this but hey let me ask if anyone else think so. People?

bro let the guy vent. he had a bad experience and he wants to get it off his chest. What good are you doing by "calling him out" . I seriously hope i dont have classmates like you in dental school .

I'm sorry that you had annoying test-takers sitting next you.
However, I think you are overreacting a little about the testing center officer. I took both of my tests at Van Nuys branch, and I know the old lady that you are talking about. Honestly, I thought she was not annoying at all, but was professional. Yeah, she was very strict, but you have to abide by the rules anyways. I'm sure she told you about the signing in and out whenever you get out of the testing room because both times when I was there, she told me every rule on the book. I feel you that it seems a little unfair that our testing environment was a little stricter and harsher than those that many other SDNers had. But, please think twice before making any complaint. You don't want to make any mistake that can affect other people's lives.

You've never come across people that complain like this constantly? I can just see the OP complaining about every little thing going wrong and that is "unfair". Imagine being his classmate in dental school. I don't have a problem with someone venting but hearing someone venting and in the mean time, exaggerating/lying is a big problem for me. It's as if they're making up excuses for their shortcomings. So really? you'd rather have a classmate like that?

Do you really think you'd like someone give you **** when you have an experience like after studying for 2.5 months!? Let they guy get it off his chest instead of ****ing quote on quote calling him out! I know you can say whatever the hell you want in here and let's say you're even right about everything you said, do you really think it's a nice thing to say **** like that to ppl that really need some support!? So from now on we should put ppl down instead of making them feel better no matter if they're exaggerating or not!? There's a line between being honest and arragont!!!

And please don't even go there with me about your RIGHT to express your opinion and ****!!! Bottom line you should learn how to support ppl and making them feel better instead of putting them down!
 
let me start off:

well, let me know if you wanna come over and suck my D*** ... no1 asked for your opinion, keep them to yourself. get off this thread if you don't like it and don't waste your time replying you dumb ass...


Really??? for 4.5 hours? I highly doubt that. You're right though about how annoying the typing is as I had this problem myself when I took it. They were typing for maybe 25 minutes. The orange headphones didn't really do its job.


well, they actually, it is possible. you idiot. i asked and i guess she was taking a risk management test... which is all writing/typing


They have strict rules and policies at those test centers. Of course they're gonna keep a close eye on everyone. You should have known to sign out every time you left the room.

i never knew about signing IN or OUT... no1 said anything about them. When i walked in at 8am there were 15 people waiting to get seated, they didnt explain anything to anyone. 😱...


I highly doubt that calling ADA will do anything in terms of getting your money back or getting a free retake.

Thats why there is ADA and NOT YOU who makes decisions.

So what? you expect them to give you 3 EASY passages on the DAT? What kind of a test do you think this is?

you're just pissing me off now...


Ok i understand your frustrations in getting average to subpar scores (on SDN), but seriously, I'm beginning to think you're just a pathalogic exaggerator/complainer and in all honesty, am extremely skeptical of your claims. Sorry to call you out on this but hey let me ask if anyone else think so. People?

im not... and like I said you are always welcome to suck my D***, i have enough saved up for you in the "scrotum" just waiting to shoot out from my testicular artery to the urethra, to your F***** face... :laugh:

Hey but thanks for making feel better about everything. knowing about the existance of dumb asses like you, makes me trully happy about myself and my friends.

To Shombool talla, In koskesh khodesh hatman kir khordeh dareh zaboon derazi mikoneh.. LOL... :laugh:
 
I'm sorry that you had annoying test-takers sitting next you.
However, I think you are overreacting a little about the testing center officer. I took both of my tests at Van Nuys branch, and I know the old lady that you are talking about. Honestly, I thought she was not annoying at all, but was professional. Yeah, she was very strict, but you have to abide by the rules anyways. I'm sure she told you about the signing in and out whenever you get out of the testing room because both times when I was there, she told me every rule on the book. I feel you that it seems a little unfair that our testing environment was a little stricter and harsher than those that many other SDNers had. But, please think twice before making any complaint. You don't want to make any mistake that can affect other people's lives.


listen, I just wanna get what I deserve. I think, Just like there are rules and regulation in regards to checking out/checking IN (which they didn't tell me in the morning, i thought thats what the cameras are there for), there should be laws and regulation in regards to a nice set up for people who study their asses off to get some quite time to concentrate, you know? is that too much too ask?

and its not like Prometric is perfect, i searched up on them and they've had problems with SAT problems many times, and i know i had 2 questions on my QR that had no answer, they had answers that were close but NOT THE answer.

I just think they should put people who type things in one room, and others in another room, and get new noise cancelling systems, since they don't let us bring our own.

Thats all

Yeah, I understand all that, but I was talking about your comment on making a complaint so that the lady will lose her job. (although I highly doubt that she will)
 
Dent2009 your A real $h*t head people come to SDN fro supprt its a supprot group and you just F***d the whole thing up! Dude I feel fo the guy who got screwed taking the test. ANd I wish it doesnt haen to me. But on SDN he gets to vent to a support group an dalso to help people out wiht warnings not to take it where he did. And as said already hope not to have people like you as class mates in dental school. Its people like you who choose dentistry as a field to advance yourself for selfish reasons not as a means to help others. My take on dentistry is to help people. Basically to sum it up --- your a ral ***** hole!

1. she's not a lady, i would say maybe 21-24 years old.
2. Major attitude, and I'm not kidding...
3. since you missed the top posting, in the morning when i came in, she was on the phone with someone talking while people were waiting. there was no line or check in numbers, she would get off the phone (not hang it, but leave it off the hook on her desk) walk over and ask whos next... everyone would get up (LOL) people didnt really looked at who came in before them or whatever so that was the first thing that went wrong in the mroning that had a couple of other people pissed off.
4. she was talking to this lady that I guess was there to take her TOEFL english test, (her english wasnt good), like she was a F****** dog... "NO, that goes IN THERE, YOU SEE THAT THERE, THAT'S A LOCKER, YOUR STUFF, YEAH, THOSE, GO IN THERE..." ... who the hell talks like that to people?? Not professional
5. when I cam out on my break, she was still on ther phone, i asked here where the bathroom key was, she goes to the other person on the phone "hold on, a customer, let me call you back, ok, you call me back when you're done" right infront of me...
6. when I was leaving she was still on the phone and when i was getting my print out, there was another genteman that had came in (employee) that couldnt print out my paper... we again, had to wait for her to get her ass off the phone to come over and give me the paper... saying "yeah, customer again, call you back"

i'm not just BSing here.. nor am bad just becuase of scores people... i prob will get in somewhere this year... if not im only 23, just turned... many more years to come, next yaer or the year after... its just im sad to see that they dont care about people like us to study their asses off...

they should at least care a little when we have made this DAT thing our entire life...


Hope you undrestand

Very mature OP. For you own sake, I hope nothing shoots out from your testicular artery cause that would be painful with all the blood coming out of it to the urethra - Oh yeah, I bet you meant to say ejaculatory duct to the urethra - I guess I see why you couldn't get over a 20 on bio.

Its people like you who choose dentistry as a field to advance yourself for selfish reasons not as a means to help others. My take on dentistry is to help people. Basically to sum it up --- your a ral ***** hole!

I'm selfish because I just called the OP a pathologic exaggerator? Hmmm... I must say you're a good judge of character. Oh why don't you go suck OP's penis seeing as he's begging someone to do it. While you're down there, maybe you can help him review the reproductive system.
