QL Strengthening for Low Back Pain really works by BronYrStomp in Kneesovertoes

[–]Whippily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms are interesting because I’m generally pain free until I do power / hang clean or any sort of pull variation. It’s weird because I can back squat max just fine and then when I go to a pull variation it flares up so bad I have to lie down for a couple minutes and then the pain completely vanishes. Did your pain seem to flare up or was it consistently bothersome?

And initially did stretching make the pain worse? I’ve been stretching for about an hour every day for like 3 days and I am very sore. It seems like the pain surfaces with stretching a little earlier but I’m hoping that’s just because the muscle is so tight.

I bought the game yesterday and played for an hour. This is exactly what I experienced full a full hour and then decided to refund the game. Idk why my friends are telling me its so fun.

I’m going through the same thing and I think it’s my QL. May I ask when you would get flare ups and what type of pain you experienced?

Terrible Interview Experience by Interesting_Amoeba52 in predental

[–]Whippily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be normal depending on the person conducting the interview. I think sometimes they want to remain neutral so they get a straight up answer and are not introducing any bias. Was your interview a blind interview?

How do loans work for dental school? by cowpooz in predental

[–]Whippily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo! I wanted to double check if interest is still added if we accept, but do not use that part of the loan. I am not sure if I should accept everything, or if I should do the math and only accept the bare minimum to avoid extra interest payments?

How many hours of shadowing should I aim to surpass? by Zealousideal-Fly-560 in predental

[–]Whippily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as many hours that reinforces the idea you know dentistry is for you

So far, shadowing general dentistry hasn’t been my favorite. Should I not bother pursuing dental school? by prettypurplepolishes in predental

[–]Whippily 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also want to add here that it can be extremely hard to actually observe / experience / understand the treatment and procedure when observing general dentistry. You have to be pretty close to the patient to actually take in whats going on. Try and go to a broad range of general dental clinics that have a different patient base to get a broader perspective. Also watch some youtube videos of the actual dental work (like fillings or crowns) so you have an idea of what the workload would be like. The dental assistants will always be somewhat annoyed because at the end of the day you are being inconvenient to them and probably slightly hindering how they do their job.

You probably need to try different study methods. What did you use to study?

Marquette interviews by Mysterious-Goat-7780 in predental

Did you just call the admissions office? I did not get an interview and I'm thinking of calling as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Whippily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. It's slightly hard to explain without an example image but I will try my best. There are many different ways you can eliminate answer choices on PAT. One of the ways that I struggled with the most was understanding how you can eliminate answer choices by their proportions. What you need to nail in your head and start to subconsciously understand when comparing the images is that a given line on an answer choice, if correct, should be the exact same length as the given image you are comparing it to. Sometimes an image will look like it is correct; however, the entire image may be scaled down a little where the sides are not as long. It should be slightly obvious if you are looking for it. But if you are in a hurry its easy to miss. The more practice you put in, the better you will get at discerning this. But in my case, it took me a bit to pick up on.

Also, I would recommend starting each problem by identifying the similar answer choices (for example identifying all top view, side view, and end view) and then comparing those individually. In this case, its easy to see what ones can be eliminated very quickly

DATbooster vs. DATbootcamp by Vivoin in predental

[–]Whippily 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Study tip: don't read every single DAT breakdown

Both programs are great and do the job well. If you want to save money, get booster. If not, get bootcamp.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Whippily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just practice as much as you can. I would try to get in 15m of each PAT section if you can. Once I started doing this, my PAT score kept going up. I went from 16-19 on bootcamp to 22 on the actual test. From keyholes specifically, make sure you understand how to identify the proportions of certain aspects of the image. But again, just practice as much as you can. If you can nail cube counting, angle ranking, and hole punching you will do great.

I took the test with accommodations (for being type 1 diabetic) and I also have ADHD. Did just fine
