What type of calculus stuff is included in the QR section and does it go into detail with calculus or should we only know the broad trig stuff? Also what are the best books for the QR section?

There should be no calculus involved. Try doing practice problems in Kaplan QR subject tests or Achiever to get a better idea.

I agree, of nothing else dump the calculus out of your head. I had a year of calculus and got owned on the actual test because I didn't review the lower math enough. follow the ada guidelines of what's on the test. The exponents, square roots, word problems, geometry are of the difficult variety though.

But I thought there were some trig stuff on the DAT. To what extent do they go into the trig stuff. Also the ada guidelines said that there was also statistic and probability on the test. What is on that section of the test? Is it hard stuff from stat?

I agree with Jigabodo, calculus IS NOT on the DAT.

There will be numerous trig, , algebraic, probability, and stats problems. Buy the Big Blue Kaplan DAT book, and you will see the scope of math problems in QR.

Trig is not calculus. You won't have to do derivatives, integrals, limits, infinite series, etc.
