how to prepare the math part? DAT destroyer good for math preparation? or anything else?
practice is key!

Hey guys:
i wanted to know besides Kaplan Math practice which i heard is not like what we see on real DAT, where else i should be looking for some practice problems?
I have taken DAT back in Oct. are about 20-23 word problems out of the 40 questions. this was so frustrating, so i wanted to if any of you know about a good resource other than Kaplan, Destroyer (the MATH is nothing like Destroyer), and the softwares?
It seems like that DAT MATH is concentrating on WORD PROBLEMS a lot.

Click on this link and use it as your guide to study:
http://www.ada.org/prof/ed/testing/d...ifications.pdf

There are 10 word problems on various stuff. I also suggest Barron's book for math practice. Despite of some errors, they offer different types of problems than Kaplan (more like the DAT types).

this link is not working.

sorry...here you go:
http://www.ada.org/prof/ed/testing/dat/dat_test_specifications.pdfi

i dunno..for some reason it changes once i post it there. Anyways, if it still don't work then go to the dat page of ADA website and on the right click on test specifications.

hope that helps!

A Great book, which I have mentioned on these treads before, is Rapid Math: Tips and Tricks. Look on Amazon.

Destroyer should be more than enough practice. That's basically all I used. I got a 22 in QR, although I thought the questions were pretty easy except for one problem....so I was expecting a higher score.....

for those who are clicking the link and cant get to the site. make sure u delete the last " I" in ur adress bar. it should be PDF not PDFI

practice is key!

thats it.

Besides the softwares, I'd also practice with GRE books and even SAT ones
