Default CHAD QR and DAT Math destroyer


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
I watched chads QR videos and thought I had a good handle on the material. Looked at DAT math destroyer and it just looks like a foreign language to me. Last math class I took was two years ago >.>. I'm guessing math destroyer is a better representation of the real exam compared to chad?

I was thinking about going the Crack Dat math route since there are video explanations. I'm more of a visual learner. Feedback?

I would recommend hiring a math tutor to work through Math Destroyer test 1 with you over 3 hours or something. It will cost you $60, but it could give you the big head start you need in math. You will probably remember things quickly, just need to brush off rust.


And yeah, chads qr is not good enough to rely on for the DAT without other sources. It is a good, brief intro to get you thinking math again but that's about it.

Destroyer is a review book, not a teaching book. It is a very hood tool if used properly. People had the same complaint against Schaums outlines, also because they claimed it did not cover everything in enough detail. Schaums is a review book, so it is only reviewing the topics and letting you know what you should work on. Just use your textbook for topics that you have hard time with.

yeah I know, which is why I started digging into it just now after having gone through KBB QR, Orgoman's Notes on QR (from his class), doing Destroyer QR.....but then I open uped up Math Destroyer and was like ...solutions made sense though so I guess it's like the normal DAT Destroyer for GC and OC where you go over it again and again and get used to it
