More About the Author

Richard A. Lehman, writing fiction as 'Arty Gold', was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1948. He attended Worthington High School where he managed to graduate in 1966 and went to Ohio State University where he managed to attend one specific class which proved to be of absolutely no use to him later in life. C'est la vie.

He has been joyfully married to Kathryn, the love of his life, for more than thirty years. Why she puts up with him is still a mystery.

His first novel, "Holding The Bag", (eBook available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Holding-Bag-Tapone-Novels-ebook/dp/B005T636VK/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1325423700&sr=1-1) has (so far) been awarded no prizes but - maybe later. He is currently at work on his next two books, "Up A Creek" and "A Crooked Mile", both should be available in 2012.

He and his family spent a summer living in a Maya village on the Yucatan peninsula where he continues to work with a local pastor leading short term Christian missions (www.missionmaya.org). Much of the local color in "Holding The Bag" comes from his long experience in the Zona Maya of the Yucatan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for PAT section, August 23, 2006
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Dental Admissions Test (Barron's DAT: Dental Admissions Test) (Paperback)
First of all, this book is not as bad as others make it out to be. But I think people should realize that this book is NOT a complete guide for the DAT. The science review sections were condensed...very much like preliminary lecture notes. However, the PAT section was very helpful. I found the level of hardness on the real test very similar to the book's. What I suggest is you use Kaplan or TopScore (some very heavy duty review books) along with this book for the PAT section. Then, a few days before the test, flip this book open to go through the materials quickly to keep your brain in science mode. And, of course, constantly practice the PAT section. My prelimary PAT score was 13 when I signed up for Kaplan (which was useless btw), and with this book I got an 18 on the real PAT.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book to practice the PAT only!, August 2, 1999
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Dental Admissions Test (Barron's DAT: Dental Admissions Test) (Paperback)
I must concur with the other reviewers. This book is loaded with mistakes, particularly in the science and math sections of their two practice exams. It was extremely frustrating to doubt whether YOU were wrong or whether the BOOK was wrong when reviewing your answers to the exams.

Furthermore, their science and math review sections were extremely paltry. Buy an MCAT test prep book for the sciences and a GRE book for the math review.

The only saving quality of the book is that it is one of the few sources that provide a practice PAT section. For me, that made this book worth the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Read for the PAT section, April 3, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Dental Admissions Test (Barron's DAT: Dental Admissions Test) (Paperback)
I reviewed for the Natural Sciences and PAT with this text. The survey of natural sciences sections are decent but the PAT section I thought was helpful. I also used Dr. Kanani's book at dentalschooladmission.com and TopScore Pro for the DAT to get me better prepared. I recommend them both. Actual DAT is similar to TopScore Pro and Dr. Kanani's book explains everything possible in between.
