math

Hello! First post in the podiatry forum :) I was looking through the AACPMAS course descriptions (I can't post links yet because I'm new) and realized math wasn't under science. Is this a recent change? All the older threads I've seen about course descriptions seemed to say math/statistics was...

I'm a freshman currently enrolled as a bioengineering major at UCLA. I was wondering if it would matter on a medical school application if I took one of my pre-major courses, Differential Equations, at a community college this summer rather than at my institution. My departmental advisor...

These materials helped me study for the DAT! Now I'm a D2 and I realized these books can help another student out there. Private message me for pricing. DAT Destroyer 2013 - great condition, no writing/highlighting MATH Destroyer 2013 - great condition, no writing/highlighting Organic Chemistry...

I have a strong math background in Calc I and II, and I have AP credits for both classes. Additionally, I am a registered tutor with my university for Calc I and II and Finite Math, and I do have a semester of Finite Math and Biostatistics on my transcript. Is this enough? Or should I take Calc?

Where could i find videos on the new QR comparison stuff?

Hey everyone, Last semester, I had to take Calc for the life and social sciences, basically an applied calc class, because there was only one calc 1 class and it was full. However that class was not the same as taking actual Calc 1 as they omitted practically all of trig, exponential, and log...

As I'm scrolling through pre-med reqs now it would seem some medical schools require statistics, but prefer biostatistics. I am enrolled to take elementary statistics next semester, and this statistics course specifically geared towards students who will later pursue graduate school in the...

I'm new to SDN so please excuse any flaws in my posts to the thread! Okay, so, I'm a freshman who will be taking BIO 1, Chem 1 (Including the labs) among other classes for entrance into my major Public Health. I'm wondering if I can take English and Math Courses like STAT and CALC at my local...

Hey guys, so I was tutoring a student, but got stuck on this question: A cooler has 24 Greek Yogurt containers and 6 vanilla yogurt containers. The person in charge of the yogurt reaches into the cooler (without looking) and randomly picks them out of the cooler. What is the probability that...

is there seriously no material on the market that prepares you for math? i am having the biggest struggle trying to TEACH myself math. Yes i understand MATH destroyer and BOOTcamp are good reps of the test, but before attempting those problems i need to learn how to solve problems and learn the...

Hello, I am not quite sure if math classes like precalc and statistics are applied to one's science GPA. Any help would appreciated.

Math is not my area. It never has been. Obviously I know I'll need to be proficient enough to succeed in physics, chem, and two semesters of "college level math" in order to get into most med schools; but I'm honestly not 100% clear on what qualifies as "college level". College algebra? Pre...

Hey guys, Quick question. @Ari Rezaei, you might know this... I saw that for Columbia, you need 6 credits of mathematics. Does biostatistics count as a mathematics credit? I took an accelerated Calculus I course that was only 4 credits, and that is all I have taken because that is all I need as...

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...

hey guys! 2016, Test 11 #12 "Find the radius of the circle inscribed within an equilateral triangle whose side is of length 12" Answer: 2root3 Can someone please explain the solution for me? i've read it about 1o times already and I still don't know how they got this answer. Thank you!!!

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...
