How much in depth does the DAT go with trigonometry?
I just did a sample QR section and scored a 21 but I got suspicious since it only contained 2 or 3 trig questions.

I took the DAT on Friday...

if I recall correctly, perhaps there were 2-3 questions on trig... NOTHING difficult at all.. there were just as many probability problems...

Maybe 2 or 3 questions. Don't spend too much time on it. (unless you have everything else down).

Good to see the sample test was the average case. I was getting kinda suspicious since it came across as being too light.

But is it possible to get many more question than 2 or 3??

Of course it is. Furthermore, 2 or 3 problems is somewhat significant when you think there are only like 40 QR problems. If you use one standard of measuring relative scores, the Kaplan book ESTIMATED that you could only miss like 10-12 problems and still score around 18. I don't think Trig is anything I'll spend 3 hours on, but I'll brush up on the basics so that I have a decent shot at answering whatever they can dish out.
