What were your initial feelings right after writing the DAT?

[c_97]

So I just finished writing the canadian DAT yesterday morning. The materials I used for biology included Cliff's AP Bio (3rd edition) + DAT Destroyer for Bio, Chad's videos and Kaplan Blue Book (8th ediiton) for Chem, and Crack DAT PAT for PAT. I felt like I studied for a good and reasonable amount of time (2-3 months ish). After the test I felt pretty crappy after each section.. not horrible but not the greatest. Each section seemed so rushed to me (especially the PAT) so I had to quickly fill in some guesses the last five minutes. Were your initial feelings after writing similiar to this? Did you turn out doing okay? Thanks!!

I used the same resources as you, and I felt like I did very bad with time management. Especially for the reading comp. All over SDN i kept reading how the BC reading comp was harder than the real DAT. But I felt like the RC for my DAT yesterday was very difficult, or maybe I just didnt study that section well enough. Either way, I think I am going to re-write it in Nov :<

And yes I also felt VERY tight for time, and ended up guessing a few

okay i kinda feel the same! i actually didnt find the RC bad (but I could have very well bombed it). I found the PAT the worst. Hopefully we both did good and we are just second guessing things! My friends who took it also kinda felt the same and guessed on a lot, yet still did well! I wrote in Saskatoon. I might have to rewrite in November again but fingers crossed I dont!

Ya the PAT was a time crunch! I guessed like 10 lol

Just a head up uoft changed the weighting formula for admissions it’s
either 33/33/33 for gpa/dat/interview or 25/25/50

I’ve heard that the Canadian DAT takes off about 15 questions every year totaling it only in at like 75, idk if that’s true.

Also was anyone thrown off by one of the cube counting questions?? I swear I couldn’t tell if there was a cube in the middle or not.
