Ok, my DAT is officially in 24 hrs and I haven't even studied for the QR. Math is my strong point (A's through calc 3), but now i'm skimming thru kaplan BB and am worried about all these formulas (area, blah blah blah).

Can someone break down the kinda stuff I should cram in before 11:30 am tomorrow?

Is it mostly logical word problems, arithmetic, algebra, etc.... or is there a lot of geometry also??

thanks guys...you are the best,
jb! :luck:

The lady that works with Dr. Romano told me that a lot of students told her that their QR was heavily word problem based or heavily trig based. make sure you know those trig formulas. Good luck! :thumbup:

I encountered a couple trig problems, a temp conversion, some right triangle calculations (1, 1, root 2 isosceles). know how to deal with proportions and percentages (i had more than one question on 5% of 10% of some number and the like). most of it is just knowing how to deal with algebra, what you can and can't do.

don't forget fractals, number theory, and logistics...
