I can't decide which one I should buy. What are the pro/cons of each? Which one will help me yield the highest score?

I would suggest getting both if you can afford it. I used crack dat math and it was great for getting timing down. I think on my blog I explain how I used it. The idea was to get to the point to where I could finish the test and find out how I could best do it without skipping too many problems. After I was able to finish the test at 45 min I dropped the time limit to 40 minutes, then 35 minutes. This helped a lot with doing math under pressure. The con is that I saw a good handful or so of problems on my DAT that were not on Crack DAT MATH. Crack Dat MAth was also easier. I was consistantly scoring around 19-22.
I also bought Math Destroyer but unfortunately did not get to it until a few days before the test. When I timed myself on two of the tests I got a 17 and 18 which is consistant with my score of 17 on math. I would recomend this because I was reading this the day before the test and going through problems and the problems I went through were very similar to problems on the DAT (Not all of them but it did seem to have some problems that crack dat math did not have which would have been helpful to become familiar with). The only con I could think of is it does not have a timer but you could use a stop watch. It also does not have the video explanations like crack dat math.

I have both and really felt crack that math wasn't that great. Maybe if you can afford it and need to work on timing but i found that Math Destroyer was extremely close to the real test. I didn't think much of the other Destroyer products but definitely would repurchase the Math Destroyer again.
