jennifer20 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hey premed101ers, a question I know that UofA uses RCT, but not BIO or CHEM. I was talking to a friend of a friend, who had come up with this strategy that I didn't completely think was fair, what do you guys think? During the Bio and Chem section, they flipped to RCT and did half of it...then when it was time to do RCT they just finished it off and double/triple checked everything. She ended up getting a 27. Is this fair? I remember during the DAT we had to stay in the allotted section. This makes me so uneasy as they are currently in 3rd year at UA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she did, her ID would be labelled with the incident and would never be able to get into dental school lol. I would not recommend this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer20 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Makes me sick. I struggled to get my RCT score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebron James Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Lol...I'm just impressed she got away with it. From what I remember the proctor yelled at us if we breathed in the wrong direction (exaggerated ofc, but they were really strict - this was 2011).

Kentucky Fried Blaziken Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 That would be cheating, plus you have twice the amount of time you actually need for rc i dont know why you d resort to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientDentist Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 That would be cheating, plus you have twice the amount of time you actually need for rc i dont know why you d resort to this My thoughts exactly. I can't imagine giving up precious time in other sections to work on RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotlinebliiing Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's cuz bio and chem aren't considered for uofa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Watson Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Absolutely unfair and cheating. Nobody should be attempting this if they value their chances at dental school or if they value the work that everyone else commits to to get into dental school. Theres no grey area here... its not like we're talking about an ethics question for the dental interview. Its straight up cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellOnBlackDays Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 MMI Ethical decision making time! Knowing that a "friend" did this, what do you do? "Post it on a forum and seek advice."Jk. I would honestly send CDA DAT committee an email about this situation, or at the very least send Chris from U of A admissions an email. Even if they cannot do anything at this point, they can at least be more wary about this happening in the future in U of A / Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlayThompson Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 lmfao how do you not get a 30 if you have an extra 40 minutes for the RCT (where everything is in the book) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
