i got the one with the frap question and the justice passage. apparently thats the hardest version? i wouldn't be surprised..

bio-20
chem-20
org-21
RC-19 (cant believe i got this low)
pat 18
QR 15 (and proud of it!! haha)


very surprised with my reading score..i finished with 8 minutes left and thought i was going to get low 20's for sure. bio wasnt easy..i studied like a madman and was a bio major. gen chem also had some weird questions but overall was doable. organic had an annoying cmr spectroscopy problem which i didnt know how to do..and a good portion of reactions. there was one tough one on spotting the enantiomers but it wasnt easy like on all the practise tests i took.

pat..angles..wow. tough. i think i lost most of my points on angles and tfe. cubes and paper folding was money in the bank.

qr-since this section has absolutely nothing to do with becoming a dentist i really dont care too much about it. also considering how everyone else seems to get getting 15-17's on this..doesnt really bother me.

so..basically a 20/21/18. i feel i could have done better though..i knew my stuff very well. and i still cant believe i got 19 on RC! on the canadian DAT i got 22 and that was with a time limit of 50 minutes instead of 60. this irks me..but i made my 20's in the sciences so i guess thats all that really matters.

best of luck everyone! and happy new year to all my fellow yids! 😉

Congrats on the solid score!

I am sorry, but wouldnt your AA be 19 instead of 20? If I remember it correctly, AA is the average of everything but PAT. So 20 + 20 +21 + 19 + 15 then divide them all by 5 should give you 19?

congrats and you are right about QR, seeing how everyone is getting low on QR dont worry about it.

We had the same test and scored the same on RC and QR. Woot!
I think you did a fine job 😀

thanks man! it was a tough test..i think we will both agree on that. but honestly..i was expecting like a 22-24 on reading comprehension. very puzzling how i only got 19 which i think works out to be about 4 wrong on each passage. id almost be willing to bet my life that i didnt miss that many questions..

 

[TheWiredNerv]

I agree

could you compare the CAN DAT and the US DAT. Is one harder? thanks.

I think you should relax and play some Bioshock 🙂.

american dat was way harder. i breezed through the canadian dat (only did kaplan and topscore). for the us dat i did kaplan,destroyer,topscore,achiever,subject tests,barrons,cliffs and read schaums and cliffs AP.
bio was tough..really was. nothing about plants,embrology etc..bah!

What did I TELL you about QR? It was rough huh? I hate QR. I think you have a solid TS though so I think you're money. Good Job and Good luck!
