Probability questions are among the highest-yield topics on both the DAT and OAT Quantitative Reasoning (QR) sections. In this video, Professor Blois demonstrates a step-by-step approach to solving a probability question and explains strategies you can apply on test day. 🎥 Watch the video...

Understanding the difference between combinations and permutations is essential for success on the DAT Quantitative Reasoning section. In this video, Professor Blois explains how to determine when order matters, when it does not, and how to avoid common probability mistakes students make on...

Many DAT students lose valuable points on the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) section because they memorize formulas instead of understanding the underlying concepts. In this video, Professor Blois walks through a high-yield probability question and demonstrates a systematic approach to solving DAT...

Can you solve this problem before going to Slide 2? Many students correctly calculate the restricted arrangements in this classic DAT permutation problem but miss what the question is actually asking. The key is to determine the difference between the unrestricted and restricted seating...

Combinations and permutations are a fundamental part of DAT Quantitative Reasoning, and understanding when to use each can make a significant difference on test day. The key distinction is straightforward: • Use permutations when order matters • Use combinations when order does not matter...

DAT Math Question of the Day A hockey player has played 17 games out of a total of 25 games played this season. He scored a goal in 3 games. What is the probability that the player will play the next game and score a goal? A) 68% B) 12% C) 8.16% D) 10% E) 32% Answer: B 17/25 = 0.68 is...

70 % of the Hockey referees freeze the pucks before the game. If 8 referees are chosen at random what is the probability that exactly 5 of them freeze the puck before the game? A) 70 % B) 8 % C) 5% D) 15 % E) 25 % Answer: E 8C5*(0.7)^5*(0.3)^3 8C5 = 8!/{(8-5)!*5!} = 56 560.1680.027 =...

In this short video, Prof. Blois explains probability concepts commonly tested on the DAT, focusing on understanding rather than shortcuts. This lesson follows the DAT Destroyer system created by Dr. Jim Romano, which emphasizes true mastery of concepts instead of pattern recognition. 📺 Watch...

hmu if you're down to chance me for medschool and ill give you my stats! thanks :D

Hi. I just wanted to how ranking multiple specialties would affect my probability of matching. For example, if I have 7 IM programs, 3 Peds programs and 1 Psych program on my rank order list, will it decrease my chance of matching at any of these places as opposed to having 10 IM programs on my...
