Guest Nick1983 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I just put an order in for the CDA prep kit and I'm wondering if it will take more than 3 weeks for it to arrive? Also, do you think spending a week on carving is enough???? I almost regret registering for the DAT this Feb. knowing now that I have 4 midterms that same week!

Guest Dent08 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 A week on carving while studying for 4 midterms? Thats not much prep time. You should go to your university bookstore and see if they have a IQ publications DAT prep kit for sale. Try to buy the one with the soap (carving chalk is pretty much pointless). That will get you going until your prep kit arrives. A lame carving score can really limit the schools you can apply to. You can always re-write the DAT again, but you may as well give it your best shot this time round. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uoft2005 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 yes agreed. Unless carving is your hobby , that'll be pretty hard. I spent a lot of time preparing for carving and i got 20. just get the basic techniques down and look at some examples offered by iq pub... i only wished i took a look at the iq pub.. on the actual test, i was like WTF @ the illustration b/c i never encountered it before..

Guest Nick1983 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks. I recently took the American DAT and scored 20AA, 21Chem, 19Bio, 17PAT - I know the CDAT doesn't have organic nor math, and the classes I'm taking this term are mostly bios. I don't even think I have time to study hardcore for those sections again. Ok now I'm really worried about carving, I should start practicing now?

Guest johnwoo19 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 yes start as soon as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest omizu Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I was never able to find any soap from IQ pubs. As far as I know they only sell blackboard chalk, and then for much more than you would pay at Office Depot. I would check out www.predentlab.ca for soap before ever buying chalk. IQ does however have a pretty good carving book with some practice figures. You should be able to find it in your university bookstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dent08 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I bought some IQ soap at the U of C bookstore 4 years ago. Maybe its not available anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
