Which Math Destroyer practice test is enough to cover pretty much all the possible question types? I don't think I have time to get through all 13 and have heard that they get sort of ridiculous towards the end. Any advice? Math is the subject I am MOST worried about.
 
Do as much as you can. Test 12 is ridiculously hard except for the first questions that deal with p-value. Test 13 is fair.
Good luck

if you're most worried about it, you should probably to the most amount of tests you can and do them all at least twice since the first time through is always difficult for anyone!

I absolutely second that. It is imperative. I got a 30 on the QR; and I have to say, I would definitly have gotten no where close to that score if I did not go through MATH DESTROYER twice. Every question I had was from the MATH DESTROYER (on the real DAT) that is. It was just like taking another MATH DESTROYER test (actually, the real one was a bit easier).
 
If it makes you feel any better, I only did up to test 8 of the destroyer and 6 of the qvault tests. However, let me warn you that qvault scores you quite generously, in other words they overestimate your potential score on the actual thing.

lol i actually got that from your breakdown b/c i thought i was the only one who was taking 2 hours for one of the tests! but then u realize how to set things up. although i haven't done all teh tests yet, im almost thru one round and can see how the questions are similar
 
I took forever to do MD the first time around. That book discouraged me so much, but I don't regret putting all that time into it. I went through the 2nd time only to test 3 or 4 (got lazy haha), and then I just reviewed the p-value questions in the later tests. I also went through some of datqvault QR, which I thought was great bc you got to see more of a variety of questions. Difficulty level is between datqvault and MD. Just know your trig identities, geometry formulas (circles, cylinders, etc) and how to make good educated guesses. I had 6-7 problems I marked, and I went back and just manipulated the answer choices to reach a "solid" guess. This can probably bring your score up a few pts. Made a 30 somehow miraculously, but the above tips definitely helped me.
