Guest toothy1985 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 ok ok, so I am guessing they might be in my mailbox today.... I am freaking out... every morning , i have to run back and forth to the mailbox to check it for that CDA enveleope but no chance so far. Sometimes, I even think of just walking up to the mailman's truck and asking him for the mail for my house.... but that would totally freak him out so I stop at that thought. So ppl on the East coast are few hours ahead of Ontario, so if anyone receives it, please let me know! Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uofmpredent Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Nothing in my mail today. I'm in Manitoba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest power2005 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Well...if the CDA doesn't lie, then given that they said 6-8 weeks, the scores should be in our hands either Monday (tomorrow), Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday...(no mail Friday). I'm hoping for Monday, but I think I've given up predicting when they will be in. I'm trying not to think about it because each of the last 5 business days have been a disappointment...with each successive day being that much more disappointing...lol! Oh the harsh reality that is life.....full of disappointments. The ironic thing about this is that once I do see my scores I will probably wish I hadn't :x :eek :rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest uofmpredent Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 how did you guys feel about the feb dat? the people i've talked to and i thought it was easier than the november one. i wonder if they're having a problem with too many high scores and they're trying to work it out.

Guest wishywish82 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I don't think they adjust the scores regardless. 15 is suppost to be the median score and one would expect following a normal distribution the mode, they don't do this or they haven't in the past.

Guest sensodyne Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 it doesn't matter how easy the exam is. the scores are scaled and so in the end, difficulty of the exam won't matter (as long as it's not toooooooo easy then you'll have a ceiling effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest power2005 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I called the CDA today and they answered with, "6-8 weeks after the test is written with the scores being out at a maximum of 8 weeks". This lady didn't seem like she knew too much about it, but I felt like saying...NO SH*T!!!!!!! lol Was she mocking me? Anyway, based on her response, they should be out no later than Thursday.....

Guest yuliam Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I wouldn't say that the Feb DAT was easy, i found some questions were way too specific (sesecially bio), but than again I didn't write the november DAT so i can't really compare it. I guess we just need to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SaturnsMoons Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hey, I'm new to this forum, tho I've been reading it for a while. It really helped me prepare for the Feb DAT, my first try. I live in Montreal and just got my scores in the mail today! I didn't do as well as I hoped....and I seriously don't understand how I got a 4 in carving!!:eek I mean, my planes were smooth, measurments were good, it was symetrical....I didn't even get blood on it. Either it broke along the way, or I need a reassessment of my talent:b What's the min DAT requirement for McGill?:\ Hope everyone did as well as, if not better than, they hoped! Good luck!

Guest Aplusdent Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I wrote the Nov. DAT and also had a low carving score (15)...I seriously don't know what happened...I had an extra 2 min at the end to look over everything to make sure it was all perfect and I checked all the dimensions and measurements and thought for sure I'd get something in the mid 20's at least....I was totally surprised with the result they gave me...I tried emailing them to see if it was possible to see the raw score (how I did on the criteria they use to grade..smooth planes, correct orientation, measurents...) but they didn't even answer my question and gave me the link to the CDA website....duh....i've already been there many many times...and didn't find the answer. So I'm guessig they don't want us to see the raw scores (even though it would help everyone a lot as far as studying for the second try since we could focus on what aspect of the carving we messed up). I seriously carved 21 pieces of soap, which I thought I had mastered and then I got a low score....wth...i finished the test thinking that I had done marvelous (especially the carving) and was very disappointed once the standardized scores came out...is there any way to see any of the raw scores for the test..even to see how many questions we missed? I think it's really odd that we only get to see the standard scores...it's very frustrating.:rolleyes lol....the website changes the word c-r-a-p-p-y into @#%$....so i had to change @#%$ score into the milder "low score" :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest power2005 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 wow... bombed the carving.......lmfao nice scores... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest power2005 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Mine were in my neighbours mailbox... Reading - 21 Bio - 19 Chem - 18 PAT - 18 Carving - 14 All things considered I think I am pleased with those scores. I was really nervous about bio and chem (would like them in the 20's, but oh well). The reading is a bit less than what I thought (I thought I did really well) and that PAT is right around what I thought. Carving is not great, but my cousin got into dal with a 10. I don't think these scores kill my chances, but if I don't get into Dal this year I know I will be able to improve all sections because I really didn't prepare as much as one should.

Guest wishywish82 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think the U of T averages are Academic Avg 21, PAT 18, carving doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toothy1985 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 tamkhan1, are you already in dental school? what sort of dat scores did u get in nov.dat? have u applied to american schools? I am having trouble applying to US dental schools as I am a psyc major, in the faculty of science, at York university and I am trying to find "science" profs to write me a Letter of Reference. Some US schools dont consider psyc a science and I dont know what to do. I cant get any from my science profs as they are not my best marks and plus the classes that I took science in were huge. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
