Do we need to know conversions (ounces- gallons) on the real DAT?

[Dentista08]

Achiever has a bunch of conversion problems in QR degC to degF, ounces to gallons, miles to km-- do we really need to learn that? I dont remember any on the DAT the 1st time i took it, but again, i was so nervous i dont remember anything at all!

Yes you need to know.

3feet/yard
5280feet/mile
1760yard/mile
16ounce/pound
128ounce/gallon
12inches/1 feet
1liter/ 0.26gallon
1gallon/3.78liter
1kg/2.20ib
1 Cup = 0.25 Quarts
1 Pint = 0.5 Quarts
1 cup=0.5 pint
1mile/1.6km
16 oz = 1 pint
2 pints = 1 quart
4 quarts = 1 gallon
2.54 cm = 1 inch
1ft =.3 m
1km=.62mile
1 cup = 8 oz
1609.3 meters = 1 mile

Hope this helps

you don't need to know all of these conversions, but just some.

Those are quite a bit... on mine, they gave me the conversion factor.

I thought they were very fair in giving you the conversion factors. Of course, I knew some of the obvious ones, but anything beyond that was given. Ive bolded the ones I probably knew going in to test day (the ones that were 'obvious' to me) 🙂
