soooo DAT scores are out, who's rewriting? LOL

[wisdom_tooth]

Yes, I did horribly bad, I'll be the first to admit it, I won't even list my scores because they're embarassing, ridiculously embarassing. And the sad part is I actually thought I did well. Anyways, is anyone planning on rewriting in Feb? are you in the toronto/GTA area? interested in starting a study group? contact me

 

ps. if I write again it'll be my THIRD time, yes my THIRD TIME which reminds me, are we allowed to write the DAT more than 3 times? is there a limit?

 

thanks

It's kinda up to you how many times you want to try. The fact that you thought you did well and bombed means something is off. I would try and find where you keep going wrong and honestly assess if you are able to improve before repeating the same mistake. I read in another thread that your scores went down?

Don't set yourself up for a third strike. Good luck.

I got all academic secs 19, PAT 18, carving 29. Is carving worth anything for UWO & UT?

unfortunately UWO and U of T dont pay great attention to the carving scores. but i think ur carving scores may put u in a better position.

actually...both UWO and UofT DO NOT look at carving scores or even consider them. That's why UWO stopped looking at the total DAT score...because for a lot of people, it's their carving score that brings it up.

whoa that's awesome, a 29, you also did pretty good on your other sections. Hey if you want your carving to count, try applying out of province, the schools in the west, especially UBC, they look at carving and that will definately be an advantage for you. I wish I could score that high!

good luck

you're right dr. drill, I'm obviously doing something horribly wrong, whether it's my studying habits, what I'm studying, or how I'm studying. I definately need to re-assess everything and find exactly what I'm doing wrong. I even emailed CDA asking them if there is any way possible I can see exactly the types of questions I was doing poorly on, I highly doubt they release that kind of info, but we'll see what happens I guess.

thanks for the support
