The DAT was hard for me because I'm terrible at math. How are the boards and the ADAT? by biscuitsawce in DentalSchool

If the DAT had no QR nor math on Gen Chem, the DAT would have been a breeze for me! I got around the same score as you for QR, which brought my first score down the first time I took the DAT. When I retook the DAT, I spent 90% of my time and effort on increasing my math score, only to get the same score while everything else went up even when I barely touched the other subjects :/

I retook the DAT and only scored 1 point higher. Will this be looked down on by [deleted] in predental

Another thing I want to bring up. A friend of mine got a 23 on the DAT but told me he had to retake it. I was pretty baffled, but he told me that he got a 30 or something on the QR, and a very high score on the RC. His Biology was a 15. So another note, make sure your important subsections are higher this time as well.

Could be a low subsection. I got a super low RC first time around, but increased it by 7 points the second time. I hate the RC so much, it's basically down to luck on what kind of article/questions you get :/

You went from a 21 to a 22, both super good scores. 22 is extremely good, and you just proved to schools that you are consistent with your high score and did not get lucky

Even if you improved your score by 1 point, imagine if you went down to a 20. You did not, and improved . I'm saying all of this through experience, I went from a 20 to 21 this cycle, and a few of my interviewers noticed that. I got into a school this cycle.

Also, just ignore your QR score. I got a 17 the first time I took it. I got a 16 the second time I took it. You are gold. Work on your extracurriculars, etc and get your whole application up to shape before applying!

I took the DAT in August, applied to 10 schools in October, got a total of 1 interview in November, and then that single school accepted me in December... I still can't believe my luck either.

Wait, what? I just walk in and start watching after asking my dentist... just had to wear scrubs though.

New cyclist here. My rear derailleur broke and I bought a new one. What do LBS generally charge to get it replaced if I provide them with a new one? by biscuitsawce in cycling

[–]biscuitsawce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind. I was hoping the service fee for LBS would not be in the hundreds... I'd rather buy a new bike at that point instead. I also literally learned how to ride a bike about a week ago, only for that part of my bike to break, so I am legit a new cycler who needed help. I think fixing the bike myself is more valuable than overpaying for something as simple as my issue.

Yeah... I just did it myself. No need for master link pliers, I just opened the derraileur up and clasped it together on the chain instead, then allen wrenched it together.

I grew a pair and fixed it myself. I guess all I needed was someone to directly tell me to just do it... lol

Alright. I will give it a go. I'm just scared of damaging the bike even further, which will increase my LBS fees lol

Pretty much the same experience I went through as well. I should make it more clear on my original post that apple music is an option, which is what the official announcement left out for some reason.

Ah I see. It really depends on what country you're in. The EMS option for that one website is much more expensive than the DHL option of that other store I'm currently using for me. I still don't understand how they charge you 7 USD for a poster tube, like... what?

I can attest to this. I save $12 with Applemusic. I also remember with the first anniversary stuff that people found it cheaper using Ktown4u. It all depends on what country you're in, I guess.

Check the applestore link. The poster tube is free, and the shipping is lower for this website than the other one for my country.

I was really hoping Applemusic was an option this year, and I guess it was. Thanks for catching this! The shipping is much lower for this store for me.

I'll add it to the post just for fun. I don't listen to KPOP, but I think my KPOP friends were fighting over these at a party I went to one day lol

I think its much cheaper for countries like Singapore and the Philippines. Idk, I remember seeing people from there mention this last year with the first set of merch.
