freebird Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah everyone seemed to be saying it was easy :confused: I had no clue, it was my first time carving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenir001 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Near the end, while I was carving the V at the back. But I wasn't measuring or anything and it was pretty ugly to begin with (I'm only applying to U of T and Western). oooh the V...that's a much better description than "a notched triangle with only 2 sides carved" ya same here..i don't care about carving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenir001 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah everyone seemed to be saying it was easy :confused: I had no clue, it was my first time carving. lol it wasn't my first time carving...but i only practiced on like 6 chalk pieces and one soap...so i was pretty pleased with my performance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human instinct Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 For the two questions on florescence injected in the beginning, were they both gap junctions or was the first one something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkoo Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah, the answer was echinoderms and chordates though. really?? lol i guessed that one too For the two questions on florescence injected in the beginning, were they both gap junctions or was the first one something else? I think the one after gap junction it said a molecule with a size of 1200D and I remember vividly that gap juctions dont allow anything bigger then 1000D so something else and I said exocytosis as the answer....which still doesnt make sense I know but gap junction wasnt it so I guessed exocytosis...

HaveATake Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I was just laying in bed and that buret question popped into my head. I haven't done a titration in years!!! Do you guys remember what the answer to that one was? I can't even remember if the question was asking how much fluid had been removed or how much was still in the buret...

avenir001 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 hmmm...wasn't it just asking what the reading was? lol it's all slowly becoming a blur.. i think i chose 1.32 or smth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septolete Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Carving: I didn't even get to finish carving haha,, but I dont care at this point, this is my fourth time taking DAT and I came to conclusion that I am just not good with soaps. Bio: I am glad I didn't even bother studying for the SCI section. My evolution and microbio background helped out alot, but studying from XXplan is just waste of money and time. Reading: I went ape XXXX on RC, definitely easier than previous DATS, but probably bell curved, so I just hope to clear the RC requirement for UWO. Overall: I took CDAT at UT and a lot of ppl are talking about resorting to taking american DAT. Well personally, I prefer american dat for obvious reasons such as no carving, and at least they dont make you wait for a couple of hours out in the cold. Anyway good luck to everyone!

scotty1324 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Carving: Easy, seing all i practiced were squares triangles and rectangles with fluted or notched ends. Bio: Hard, but i knew i wouldn't understand **** cause i didn't do the classes that taught what was in the test (and that's why quebec universities don't care about bio/chem) Chem: Easy, didn't study cause i don't need it, but it was still cake PAT: I'd say it was harder than the practice one the dat gave us, but still doable. I'd see getting 75-80/90 in here. Overall: Seeing i only need 5/30 carving and 10/30 PAT, i'm not nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phloem01 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Overall: Seeing i only need 5/30 carving and 10/30 PAT, i'm not nervous. I was just curious which school you are planning to apply to that will accept a 5 carving and a 10 PAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr pipo Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 French schools, Uni of Montreal and Laval. They put much more weight on the GPA and interview. DAT is just a formality there. ________ Eye / Vision Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herragge Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Wow, it was some of your guy's first carvings on the actual DAT??? That is ridiculous...I think the carving is a good indicator of manual competency and it seems silly to not even study for an entire section on a test whether it is tested or not.

ad19 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 So how is the Canadian DAT marked? I know for the American DAT you get your scores right after you're done the test so it can't be bell curved. Is the Canadian DAT different, is everything relative to how everyone else did?

MCFMP Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 uhmm... Bio: wtf?? My blue kaplan book didn't cover much of the material there Chem: good, very straight forward RC: haha, this is probably my "make or break" in determining whether i will rewrite or not... i have no idea how i did since i never practiced this section Carving: this was fairly easy, I finished with 10 mins to spare, so i spent that time on tweaking minor details PAT: surprisingly much easier than kaplan's questions... but I still needed every second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human instinct Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I dont get it...I thought the first one was gap junctions since I didnt think that mitosis/cleavage could automatically lead to transfer of probe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dent girl Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 another confusing question:( does anyone remember that question about hyperthyroidism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human instinct Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 yes...i think it described a case in which the iodine conc in body was sufficient but hyperthyroidism was detected. I think the answer was due to low TSH levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdent Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Does anyone remember those 2 questions that were very similar in the nucleus passage (one was chromatin) but I forgot what the question and answer was for the other one. I think it said something about where the majority of DNA can be found within the nucleus, cant quite remember, its a blur. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyhead Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i think it was euchromatin. There was also heterochromatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdent Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I remember those two questions and thanks for responding, but the two questions i am referring to both had something to do with DNA in the question, and chromatin in the answer choices. The heterochromatin and euchromatin were different questions. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contach Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 People really shouldn't be talking about the specifics of the test in any way shape or form. It is considered academic dishonesty and against the rules each of you signed off on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
