I have never heard someone refer to finishing a test as "writing" it until I started looking at this forum... haha

At first I attributed it to a simple language barrier... but seeing it as often as I do, I'm assuming it's not only foreign students who refer to it as such.

anyone know what's up with this?

Who the hell thinks its cool to say I 'wrote' the DAT? Might as well be like "I wheeled my car to work!" Or, "I toothed a sandwich today!" Freaking weirdos.

Why would you even think about using the term 'write'? It's a computerized test! If anything other than took, you should say I clicked my DAT.

Hmm I use wrote/took, but I actually did write/fill in scantron bubbles for the Canadian DAT lol

If someone dominates a test, they knew the material so well that they could have written the test themselves....hence, I "wrote" that test.

Let me put it this way...
How do you distinguish DAT testmakers from those that take the DAT.

You both "WROTE" the DAT. Just saying...

That would make sense. It explains why it's mostly Canadians saying that they wrote their DAT.
