Whats the point? You will never get a full set of sample to compare.

i think clicking the button and press submit is easier than asking what's the point...
why do you always have to be the anarchist?

Don't read too much into it. A lot of people really like puffing their chests on these forums and it really discouraged me while studying. Keep your head up and be confident. SDN is a very poor sample. I would assume national averages would only deviate slightly from last years class if at all. You're just only able to read breakdowns of those who run home to their computer and quick post their results. There are just as many people who end up on the opposite end of the spectrum and don't share theirs.

Wait, so you're telling me 95th percentile isn't the average? Now that's just preposterous.

Why does seeing high scores discourage you? If anything, it should motivate you! for me, when i saw everyone getting 21+, I want to get 21+! so i studied harder...

Well my first practice tests that I took the week before my exam were far from what I ended up with and seeing all the high numbers on here kind of left me with a doomed feeling.

It's interesting how the data is more of an inverted bell curve than a bell curve.

looks like a bimodal distribution right now

How Can I vote?

Click on the numbers, unless you already voted, then you can't change it.

 

[erk005]

So 45% of people score in the top 7% percentile...

 

[Pookahead]

bump! I'm curious to see the shape of the curve now!

This is a terrible thread to read/look at if you are studying for OR about to take the DAT.

For you guys that are studying, just prepare the best you can with the materials that others have been successful with. A 19 or 20 AA is still great, especially with a solid GPA. Many GREAT schools have the 19-20 AA range.

wow.. more than 50% ppl got >20

I feel sick now 🙁.... What will I get?? i don't think i'll ever get admission in any dental school..

Do we have a dummy dental school in the states?
