Help a Brother Out ... DAT testing questions.
Started by Benman44
yep, they have both of those on the DAT!So two questions
1) is there a square root or to the power of button on the calculator given on the test
2) Also at the end of a section does it have a review all marked and a review all incomplete like crack dat pat?
Spanks!
I posted the exact calculator at the bottom of the page here http://predds.net/dat-guide/

Nope there was no scientific calculator.
Really?...if u dont mind me asking, where did u take your DAT? Your location is listed as Germany so is that where u took it? I've been doing all my practice problems with my trusty windows XP calculator and even learned what those MC, MR, MS, and M+ buttons do...lol
Has anyone else not had the windows calc during their DAT?

So what do those MC, MR, MS, and M+ buttons mean? Did I miss something in second grade?
Lol...I dont think anyone ever teaches u what those buttons do...at least nobody taught me, I had to google it. Basically they let u store a number in the memory so u can use it later. MC = memory clear, MR = memory recall, MS = memory store and M+ = memory add (or something like that). So use MS to store the number and MR to use it in a calculation. M+ basically takes whatever number is displayed on the calculator and adds it to whatever is in the memory. Who knows, it might help save a little time and thats important on the DAT. Hope this helped.
From what I could recall, the calculator is a bit unresponsive and you can't actually type the numbers from your keyboard. Also, the last operation would remain there and you would have to press "C" to clear the register for a new problem set.
Yea I've heard before that the calculator is slow but I wasnt sure if that meant the windows calculator in general or that they actually slow it down on the computers at the testing center. How would u compare the calc at the testing center to the one on your computer (if u have windows)?
