Wow. Before this, I just couldn't understand why I was getting them wrong. It was so hard for me to grasp the concept but now with your techniques, I am feeling confident that I'll ace this on the DAT. Thank you for making these videos, know that they are very helpful.

Really helpful, not just for DAT but other exams similar to this. In my country, all designers take this same test which have the same syllabus as DAT examiners (excluding anything medical related). Thanks SO MUCH!

By the way many test centers do not provide graph paper anymore so drawing tik-tak-toe squares are the only option

Thanks for the info. Are you talking about Prometric test centers or something else?

@@mentaldental I saw this comment while I was prepping for PAT and my test center gave me two sheets of dry erase paper, one side was blank and the other was graph paper. But the first time I took my DAT I got blank white paper with a pen. It was the same testing center both times. So, its best to call ahead and ask what you will be provided with. Side note: I got a 20 PAT score my first DAT try and a 25 on my most recent try! Also got a 23 in Bio (upgrade from a 15). All thanks to booster!

@@seiftadros5198 I used bootcamp my first try, and I didn't do much in the way of practice problems/exams. The second time I used booster and did all the practice problems provided and the practice exams, there were some of the same questions form the practice on the real thing. Good luck!

Do you know where I could find some free PAT practice like KZfaq videos or somewhere else? I am waiting on my book currently but the PAT is my worst section.

How do you determine if the line of fold is on the line or in between two lines? -Thanks

@mentaldental 3 жыл бұрын

It comes down to the size of the fold. Look again at the example at 10:22. If you look above "Fold 1" you can directly compare what different size folds look like.

Out of curiosity: Why do they use this type of test-as a "component' of a test-for dentist prerequisite? What is the reason/logic behind it? And as such: Why would this type of test not be required for pre-med/MCAT (general practice; surgeons)

@mentaldental 2 жыл бұрын

Three-dimensional spatial awareness and manipulation are really important when it comes time for clinical skills as a dentist. Whether preparing a tooth for a cavity or a crown, it does play a role! Why it is not required for medical students I cannot say for sure.
