F@#% the QR Section

So I am not good at math, and I am in need of some dire help. I take the DAT next week and need some tips if any. I have math destroyer and time to learn the stuff. All I want on this section is a 17-18

When you take the dat, just go through all the ones you can do. Skip/mark random bubble in the ones you can't get quickly. Go back afterwards and do the ones you may solve but takes time 1-2 min. If its a question requiring 2+ min just mark and skip it. It's hopeless on those ones.

You can miss I think 10-12ish??? and get a 17-18. So go by that standard. I got an 18 on my QR and did just that- and I'm TERRIBLE at math.

Awesome idea, if I get an 18 I will shiz a brick of happiness

Don't spend too much time on each question.
Plug and chug approach.

i'm with you on that one... i'm praying for a 16, lol. good luck!

Just took TopScore 2 and got a 19 on QR. Is TopScore a good representation of the real DAT?

Yeah its a good representation.

i thought QR in topscore was easier. I recommend using the Math Destroyer. It is spot on even though it might be just a little bit more difficult.

the QR is seriously not that hard you guys
it's just basic grade 8-10 math, with word problems thrown in.
the only problem is the time limit.

check out these Canadian high school math contests.
if you can do parts A and B for the gr.8-11 ones, you'll be fine.

only thing you need to do extra is learn the trig identities and know some Imperial -> Metric unit conversions.
