for those who have taken the DAT

[fever103]

how does the QR section on the sample DAT from ADA compare to the real thing?

here's the link http://www.ada.org/sections/educationAndCareers/pdfs/dat_test_sampleitems.pdf
and it starts on pg 51

No QR on the sample test is VERY easy... on the real dat is average hardness. But its the time what you have to worry about.
and majority of them are word problems....

anyone else??

its what peanutb123 said.

it's easy, just time consuming and lots of word problems

the problems in that test (i just went over it) are all legitament questions possible on the dat (i had a few very similar to those). However, from the test bank, my DAT (not sure about anyone elses, but it seems to be the common consensus) had a lot more word problems than most tests. The other questions are similar to the ADA, but there were a lot of word problems.

I thought it was about the same difficulty... Honestly, once you start doing practice problems, there are only so many varieties of word problems they can ask you. They all look the same later

Start doing many many practice problems!
