I was just wondering if your allowed to write things pertaining to other sections on your scratch paper before you start. I was going to use the 15mins before the test begins to write down a bunch of trig formulas and i wasn't sure if your even allowed to do that. Don't want to get disqualified for something stupid like that =/. I know your probably allowed to write it down while doing that section but wasn't sure if your allowed to have it before the section begins.

also anyone know if chads trig video enough for the DAT?

that's what i am thinking, to write down all the trig formulas during my 15 minute break. i don't see why they would not.

check the DAT website... I forget what the link is. but on www.ada.org there are specific instructions on what you can and cannot do on the day of the test. Off the top of my head I would say it was okay... since you are not bringing in any material but it is from your own memory.

and if you had more questions I would call the 1800 number.

You can, I did that too. I wrote math formulas during 15 minutes break.

you can do it, but you have to either do it during the tutorial (the preferred) or the half-time period. You can also set up other PAT stuff and what not.

Make sure you don't go all out. The erasers are pretty bad and its kinda important to have as many sheets available to not waste time. This is more so for the math part 🙁

I wrote down a lot of chem formulas during the tutorial time. The erasers I had were great and I had no problems erasing cleanly, but it did chip away time in my QR where I was less organized and wrote big/messy/everywhere 😛 One of my tutorial sample questions was actually one of my actual test questions! I wish I actually went ahead and tried to solve it haha
