I do NOT have a strong math background. I've taken only up to College Algebra and even that was 7 years ago. My first experience with a Crack Dat Math test was a score of about 13 and about 34 skipped questions. (Needless to say it was very discouraging). I've got about 5 months before I take the DAT (with a full load of classes up until about a week before).
What are some of the specific ways that you guys have tackled Destroyer (assuming similar backgrounds)? The format (a bunch of study questions) surprised me when I got it in the mail and wasn't exactly sure how to proceed.
(On a side note...this last month I set up a structured program to learn the PAT section of the DAT. I got a 14 on the first CRACK DAT practice test and got really discouraged. Feeling like it was impossible to learn, I decided to study about 30 minutes a day (15 minutes on Hole punching, 5 minutes on angles and 8 minutes on cube counting.) I've made an effort to do this more or less every day. 3 weeks ago on my first "day" I got through only 8 total hole punches and got 4 correct (in the 15 minutes). 2 days ago and today I got 15/15 on holes, 15/15 on angles and 14/15 on cubes. I know it's not much, but it has been a big boost to my confidence level.
My point is that I've become a bit of a fan of the "short and often" study method. A big fan actually. Do you guys think this would work well with Math Destroyer?
