Just curious as to if anyone took any other test? MCAT, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, OAT, PCAT, other.
 
Nope, I might take the GRE if I get into temple to take advantage of their free MBA, I'll let you know in six days
 
LSAT, 97th % baby (168). Shortly after, I started taking gen chem to begin the long journey.

How was the DAT in comparison...I know there totally diff. but which did you stress over more ect.

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.
 
scored a 38 on the MCAT.

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