realtime9 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I know some of you are still writing it, but I would like to hear from some of you who wrote DAT today! I thought science was ok,, and there were some random questions on bio.. Reading was tough I found.. and PAT was ok how did u guys find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolestdentist Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think the bio was too easy, I was kind of disappointed because I'm sure alot of people did good on it, Chem was easy but there were some tricky questions. I definitely think the reading was alot harder than most practice material and the pat was tricky at the beginning but evened out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBCStudent128 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I thought the reading was easy... a lot of it had to do with immunology, which I just finished taking. All three passages were about sciences and I could answer around 10 questions without even reading the passages. Thought sciences were hard. Maybe because I studied a total of 4 days for DAT ... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rvirus Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 how many questions do we need to answer correctly on Reading comprehension section to get 18? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inflorescence Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I wrote the DAT on Saturday and found the PAT to be very easy, I will be disappointed if I get anything below a 25. All the practice tests I did were consistent with this. I found the Biology and Chemistry decent. The reading comprehension was very fair, considering it was on science material I already knew, I also was able to answer a lot of questions without even have to check the passages from previous courses. The only thing I am really worried about is the carving, I found it was SUCH an simple pattern... aced both ends and had tons of time left over for the middle (wahoo, I was excited!)...and then... CHIP in the middle part, (how could this happen, on the easiest part of it!?!) I swore.. and tried to hold back the tears and I finished the carving. Checked my angles, few adjustments and finished 2.5 minutes early (but what's the big deal if there is a chip.... F!) How much will this affect the carving score?

DKS Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 hmm, I am quite confident in my abilities, but guess we'll see in April won't we? I felt the exact same way..lol and I got a 20 oh well, hopefully you're right! I sat there stupidly for like 10 mins because I finished that part early. Little did I know I actually didn't ace it... best of luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyflakes Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I found the science part a little random but still fair. PAT was hard at first but got better the passages were easy since it was science, you could answer some questions w/o reading the passages. I had time left over at the end. Carving on the other hand I can never be sure how I did, it looked easy but the soap was terrible. I tried not to play around with it too much. I could have made my angles sharper but was scared of chipping the soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
