Just curious as to if anyone took any other test? MCAT, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, OAT, PCAT, other.

yeah, to be honest I'm not really even sure...I'll take your word for it. either way getting a free MBA isn't a bad deal!

Like you said, totally different. LSAT is an aptitiude test and there is no required knowledge base except maybe a decent vocabulary. The DAT is, as you know, 95% memorization and 5% aptitude. I put more time into the DAT but probably equal focus. Overall I think more people would have an easier time with the DAT because you can work up to it. With the LSAT, you can benefit from preparation but some people would never be able to read it like you need to.

Yeah, I think tests like the DAT that are mainly memorization are just about time spent. What is your major, I've heard that philosophy majors generally do the best on the LSAT, they spend four years arguing and thinking outside the norm.

I've read somewhere where philosophy majors do very well on the MCAT as well. Due to the outside thinking. I thought about taking the LSAT a few years ago, but decided against it. With Temples MBA program that might be nice.

Thought med school would be too easy because of it and decided to go dental.

This is true, this is meant for Pre-dents. I should have put down a None option but I forgot.
