Math Destroyer, please do all the work

[DAT Destroyer]

Members don't see this ad.

It has been brought to our attention that students are being advised to only complete 10 of the tests in our Math Destroyer, we are the creators of the Math Destroyer and ALL the work is important..We are NOT associated with any other company. I have been overwhelmed with emails from students with low QR scores and asked if they completed the Math Destroyer I was told no, and many were advised to only complete the first 10, why??, I have no idea but those last 8 tests have a lot of great work that can make all the difference on test day.

You don't need to score a 30 in QR but a 15 isn't good. Schools are usually forgiving in this section, but shoot for as high as score as possible. There are versions with a lot of probability and statistics, trig and geometry is still on some versions, etc. No one has a crystal ball to know what you will be presented on test day. It is better to be over prepared than under.

I have also attached the file with our new QC problems. We teach with the DAT and Math Destroyer in our classroom, it is VERY effective if you do the work.

Hope this helps someone, my only intention is to help students achieve a high DAT score.

Should we do them timed? I hear mixed reviews.

Timing is not necessary, I would rather see you do ALL the work, if you become proficient at solving problems timing will not be an issue. It is when you see a problem on the DAT that you have no idea how to solve, all the time in the world will not help you, agree?

I did math destroyer timed to build up my pacing. But let me tell you that some of these tests are very hard. Overall, great preparation for real thing

Do them all 1x through untimed to understand the problem, then start timing yourself. Honestly, timing is the real grade-decider.

do you write in the workbook? Or should I practice on separate paper to stimulate real testing situations?

Thanks for all the input, a student contacted me a few days ago and received 28 in the QR, I asked him directly what we should change in the QR of the Math Destroyer, lighten up on Trig and Geometry, his response was not to change a thing( although we will be updating accordingly after the summer results to see how we can make it even better...He did all the work including our new QC problems.. On the flip side he did not complete all the Bio in the Destroyer and received a 19..He is still fine with his grades but another lesson learned..do ALL the work.

I'd do separate piece of paper. You'll want to do each test a few times as well as the problems you have trouble with, so you don't want any work or hints on the actual workbook.

But it's toooo hard!!! I'm gonna try to do a test everyday hopefully I'll pull through it.

well said @orgoman22 !!!!

math destroyer is like ripping off a bandaid or cutting off a fetid limb...... must be done!!!!!!

My approach to QR was doing the QR section in DAT destroyer, I did the entire section TWICE. Then i moved onto all the math destroyer exams to practice what i had learned. These are super hard but made me overprepare for the real exam, which is a good thing in my mind. I finished up with the DAT bootcamp qr exams which are lil easier and i think the most representative of the real DAT in terms of difficulty. All in all this got me a 23 for QR but no regrets in overpreparing for the math section. I had seen many people take math for granted. in the end it saved my AA.
