Does PAT really matter? Why is it seperate?
The reason I ask is that I got 19AA 19TS and a stinking 24PAT!! I sure wish they would have averaged every section together! You know what I mean vern!

It involves no science and requires no academic ability.

Agree.

A score of 19 on PAT vs a 24 doesn't make much of a difference. As long as you don't get like a 12 then you should be fine.

Sometimes it makes me wonder will I really see a tooth with dotted lines to figure its shape from top front and bottom . With today's technology we would not need to guess if the tooth has an angle difference of 2 or 3 degrees or would we 😱.
But I feel that the sciences should be more important than PAT but we never know what adcoms are looking for.

Using first place votes it would be in 4th place: AA>TS>RC>PAT>Bio>Org>GC>Org. Using first and 2nd place votes it becomes: TS=Bio>AA=GC>Org>RC=PAT>QR.
