I didn't do so hot on my QR on the DAT i got a 14 🙁. so i am retaking but i am not sure what to study or how to study. this was the subject i studied the most for too. So any advice would be great.
 
I took the test today. Sorry to break it you...but the best way to do well on QR is to be immersed in Math....

QR is all about reasoning and doing word problems fast. I don't know who came up with this idea....but probably a sully old fool working for the ADA that enjoys spending his time torturing helpless DAT test takers.

It was my worst section (still got 75th percentile though)....but guessed on a LOT of them....

Do ALL of topscore and achiever and topscore and Kaplan....you should be ok. Just remember to think critically while you're doing these problems. Try multiplying large numbers when in the car. Little practice goes a long way.

Peace.
 
I cannot agree with dentalplan on preparing qr section. Most importantly u do not immerse Math especially college years. I took so many Math classes and engineering classes, and I can said that I have almost immersed Math, but DAT is not the case. You never be asked calculus,dfq(ordinary or partial), or transfer functions or advanced level math. The math asked in qr section is very basic (I mean conceptually). The only thing u need is to study hard and do a bunch of practice. If u have a strong background from high school, u do not have to even study for this section. Only repeating topics one time can be enough. However if u have a score of 14, that means something is lacking. The best thing u can do to identify ur weak areas. Then u begin to study ur weak areas and solve a lot of practice problems. If u cannot come with the correct answer, then someone in this forum can help u (just post the question). I am sure that doing a lot of practice improve ur scores. Improvement will be up to u. If u really want to learn, u can improve urself in a short period of time. Do not be discouraged, show some effort (and it will pay at the end). I know that u will achieve ur goals at the end 🙄.
