To all our Canadien Pre-dent friends, have any of you taken (or as you would say it "wrote") both versions of the DAT? Aside from the chalk carving required by the Canadien DAT, is there any difference!!
Does the Canadien version have all the sub-sections as the US version?
Biology (which includes topics from Embriology, Genetics, Plant Biology, Endocrinology, Anatomy, Ecology, Evolution, Biochemistry, Virology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Physiology, and Behavioral Science)
Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Reading (3 passages)
Quantitative
Perceptual Ability Test (which includes 6 subsections on its own - Angles, Cube Counting, Hole Punching, Box Folding, Apertures [key holes], and TEF [top, end, and front view])
I read some posts on here and had a feeling that the Canadien verson sounded easier than the US version! Big Poppa claimed that it's pretty tough to get a "20" in the Canadien version, does it have the same scoring system as the US version? It's pretty tough to get a "20" in the US version as well! If you an average, regular, Joe Schmo student like myself, you REALLY have to dedicate a lot of time into studying the US DAT to earn that score!!
I know that the Canadien version is only offered two or three times a year (not sure exactly), that kind of sucks, but I would like to know your thoughts on the two versions. Is the Canadien version more chanllenging, easier, or the same as the US version (not counting the chalk carving)?
I know that the chalk carving would be easy for me because I love doing that kind of stuff! I, personally wouldn't mind if the US version of the DAT had a chalk carving section! I'll look forward to hear your responses!
Oh yes, one more thing, PLEASE contribute to the STATS PAGE thread in this forum!!!
