Hi everyone, I was wondering how accurate the Kaplan Full length tests were compared to the real DAT? I use those to practice and I'm doing pretty well, however, the math sections are always my lowest scores. Do the difficulty of the questions in each section resemble the actual tests difficulty?

Hi guys, i was hoping i could have some advice/motivation?? I am really struggling with the QR section of the DAT! Maths has always been a subject i was good at, im not one of the genius maths people, but definitely not bad either! So it came to a shock after taking the BC test 1, i only got a...

New to this forum, so wanted to say hi to everyone! This summer I am working on an independent research project --- just me, with an advisor --- and plan to continue it through junior year, after which I will use it as my Senior Thesis and (hopefully) have it published. I am confident that I...

I'm not majorly concerned about any of the other med school prerequisites....but calculus scares the **** out of me. I've successfully avoided math entirely unto this point. Now I'm in an algebra class, and that's fine, I'm getting an A; but I honestly think that I'm not capable of going up to...

Can anyone recommend a good source for studying for the math portion of the GRE? I have only take Elementary Algebra and Intro to Statistics in College and I did well in those classes. In high school I did not do well in math.

Hey everyone, It's my first post on this page so forgive me if I violate any existing conventions. I've been navigating through my pre-med coursework and am pretty sure that I covered all my bases but have not been able to get a straight answer in terms of the math requirement for different...

I just took my first Math Destroyer practice test and got 15/40 problems correct. Of the 15 I got correct, a couple I guessed on. With that being said, I've been going through the ones I missed and guessed on so that I can understand how to do each problem. This has taken me forever and I still...

Hey SDN, this is my first post so please go easy. I've read that before posting I should search for answers in other threads, but after searching I still can't find an answer that would apply to my situation. Here's the rundown. I'm currently a senior in High School starting at a CC this fall...

Hi guys, just wanted to ask what you guys would recommend i do to prepare for the math section of the exam. I have limited knowledge of pre calc/ calc because i took the classes 3-4 years ago and most of what i learned slipped my mind already. What is the best way to make sure to ace this...

Hey guys! Has anyone used Chad's videos for the quantitative reasoning portion of studying for the DAT? What are your thoughts? Is it enough? Is Khan Academy better?

Hey Everyone, I am writing my OAT in July and I want to be really prepared for this test. It's basically do or die for me. I was hoping if anyone has the OAT destroyer books and they are willing to sell it I would really appreciate it. I was on the OAT destroyer website and was gonna buy the...

So I'm a biochemistry major and most of my classes are biochem classes. I'm assuming that they will be added to my science GPA on my application, but will it be added to biology or chemistry?

Hey! If you're reading this, chances are you're preparing for the DAT! You've got this! I'm writing this a bit late (I took the DAT on July 7, 2016 - lol), but I believe this breakdown will give a bit of insight on how to get a great score. I gave myself a little less than 3 months, and felt...

Hi all, I took business calculus and "finite mathematics" my freshman year back when I was a business major. These are both 100 level math department classes at the small private university I'm attending. Will these count as BCPM and thus count towards my science GPA on my AMCAS?

Hello, I wanted to take some summer classes and I need to take calc and I was thinking about taking it at the community college near my house, is this a bad idea? I wanted to get it over with in the summer and I know it will tranfer because I checked with the schools but does this look bad? I...

I'll be taking my PCAT in less than 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone had tips on the math section. I'm looking to do well on the sciences, but the reading is oddly challenging (not going to bother) and the math seems very doable, however, i fall very short. I believe my problem is finishing...

Hey guys! I'm sorry if this is an obvious question but I'm honestly not sure. I took some prerequisite classes during high school such as college algebra (MATH 1320) and Elementary Chemistry (CHEM 1090). I also took a statistics course under the department of research and measurement -...

I am currently a chemical engineering undergrad (3rd year) torn between going to grad school in BME or to med school. I have two main questions. 1) Is there such a thing out there as a quantitative med school where instead of learning millions of slides and memorizing a bunch of things...

I just want to help people. I am in Pre Nursing because you don’t need advanced math skills, nursing dosage and you are done. I don’t want to be that nurse who regrets not going for their MD/DO, but if I know that my math skills won’t cut it or it’s too late to catch up on them, I can live with...

Hey there SDN, Due to its rigor and the "GPA killer factor", is it a bad idea to major in Chemistry for pre-med? I am 100% set on my goal of going to Med School and I want nothing else than to be a Doc. I was just accepted to the University of Texas at Ausin to study Psychology and pre-med (I...

Hello everyone, I am selling my 2016 DAT & Math Destroyer. Both are in like-new condition as I was careful in not highlighting, writing, or damaging/bending any pages (picture attached). As you may have read elsewhere, DAT Destroyer is excellent preparation material (and helped me get a 25 TS)!

I started to work on the math section of dat destroyer and wanted to know how much is it like in comparison to the real DAT. I have also been doing math destroyer which is giving me a very difficult time. I just want to know which is the best representation of the test.

how many diff ways can 2 girls and 3 boys sit in a row if the 2 girls always sit side by side. I'm trying to apply chads method but i can't tell how. clearly order matters and when order matters he just puts the number of selections on top and thats it because order matters... so it should be 5...

Hi yall, So I've been looking through some of the more recent test results from other people, and I noticed that most people don't really talk much about QR, and sometimes don't do as well as they expect. I always loved math in high school, but I haven't done much math in college because my...

In terms of the math on the NAPLEX, is there a good rule of thumb for using actual body weight, IBW or AdjBW? I feel like the prep books do not provide a good answer for that! Thanks in advance!

So what's the correct formula for std. dev. & variance? Chad uses "N-1" in his st. dev & variance formulas, whereas Destroyer & Bootcamp use "N"? Tried searching old forums and there were mixed answers.

I understand that science GPA for AACOMAS does not include math, but once you are verified there is an entire page devoted to listing your cGPA, sGPA, non-science GPA and among others there is a mathematics GPA and i'm wondering how D.O schools weigh this GPA in their decisions when considering...

When taking the 2009 DAT QR section, I had trouble with all of those reflection questions. Do I need to study these before my test? And could someone maybe explain how to do them or a good site to use to look them up? Thank you in advance!

What can I do to do (upper) my chances of getting into a good pre med program? Any tips for studying in the biology, chemistry, and mathematics fields? What do you think my course load should look like? I absolutely love biology but I understand that a LOT of math and physics are involved in...

I'll be starting my freshman year in the fall, and I need to sign up for my first semester courses very soon. I'm pretty stuck on what to do about my math class. My options are college algebra and trig- while I think I may feel more comfortable going into my science courses with a foundation in...

Can anyone explain distance problems to me? I can't seem to understand them! Here is an example from Math Destroyer: Sam travels the 40 miles from Albany to Brickville at 60 mph. At what speed must he travel back from Brockville to Albany so that the average velocity for the round trip is 75 mph?

I'm studying for the dat any my math needs a good refresher. Does anyone know what is good to use for the math section?

Hey guys, I have 16 days left until my DAT and I am really worried about the QR section. I've taken practice tests on bootcamp and I've been getting 15's and 16's. That is way too low for my standards. I used to be really good at math in high school, but it's just been way to long. My mind for...

Help, I keep getting 16's what is this 3 weeks until my DAT kinda freaked out :rofl:

I was wondering whether they would calculate upper Math and Physics courses into sGPA, which i took when i was aiming for Engineering major?? Currently attending UCSD and took 20c(Calculus and analytic geometry), 20d(Linear Algebra) and Physics 2c(Fluids, Waves, Thermodynamics, and Optics)

I've taken college algebra (i placed horribly on the placement test), pre-calc, and am taking statistical methods. I received an A in each since math in classes is easy for me so I wouldn't mind taking calc but do I need it? I can only take it in summer to fit it in my schedule and it's costing...
