math

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...

This lady will save the day. She is a great lecturer for the really tough concepts! She is on the YT channel for the college but her name is Eeris Fritz.

Does anyone know if classes like Pre-cal, college algebra, trig taken at a college level also count towards science gpa? Dual credit classes taken in high school

Hey guys! So I'm an out of state 1st-year student attending University of Washington - Seattle. Pre-med & majoring in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I want to work in the ER at one point, but I decided to make speech pathology my back up career. Last quarter, I took Chem 142 (first of chem...

Hi Guys! Working on a math problem, and I need some help on the explanation of this one::: please and thank you to whoever can explain this A boat travels between two riverside cities, A and B, located 21 miles apart. The river flows in the direction from A to B at 2 mph. The boat takes a...

I'm just starting out but I am pretty nervous about the QR section. I have the DAT Destroyer already and i'm going to subscribe to Chad's but I was wondering what else you guys would recommend for the QR section? Is the Math Destroyer worth it? Thank you!

I've always struggled with math and avoided it like the plague. I failed Precalculus and even basic Statistics was a daunting class for me. It's always been frustrating and ironic because chemistry's always come easy to me, and I breezed through both semesters of General and Organic Chemistry...

Hey guys, So I'm a senior taking the December SAT for the final time. My CR and W scores fluctuate around 730-800 so I'm not worried about those, but my M score is really holding me back from my reaches (Ivys, Stanford, Duke, etc). Any tips, online resources that you can recommend, a change in...

I dropped college because i was so confused about which math class to take. I was put in elementary algebra which doesnt count for credit. So i took placement test and i didnt pass the placement test but they combined my placement score and act score to let me go into intermediate algebra. I...

I've always struggled in math and never been able to grasp number concepts. Growing up I just thought I was stupid...until my third year in college. I was taking an abnormal psych class and read about Dyscalculia and suddenly I had an epiphany. While I'm not formally diagnosed yet ( looking for...
