All 40 questions were super time consuming word problems.

Agreed. This section killed my AA. Know your stuff.

 

[chrisvocker]

at least 15 word problems....AT LEAST

Don't know how to suggest studying for this section. Just know some of the formulas that you don't....and practice

 

[dantheman2007]

what do you consider a word problem?

 

[rightangle]

Half my test seemed like word problems......they werent tough just very time consuming

You gotta set up your equations or else you'll end up guessing on a few questions

 

[dantheman2007]

i had about 7 or 8 word problems where you had to set up equations.

i was wondering the same thing. according to the DAT manual from the ADA, there should only be 10 word problems, but people say they've seen a lot more.

when i took my dat last year i had more than 30 word problems where i had to setup equation for each one. i prepared for age problems, probability, and more but their age problem and probability questions confused me a lot.

guys what od you mean by "setting up the equation." The only thing I know that, that applies to are age problems.
What else can they ask that require a setup.?
