Ok so I have been studying for about 3 weeks, and have about 3 to go. I have done my initial review of the natural sciences. I have been working on PAT along the way. Now I need to spend some time with the QR. I know most dental schools look at this section the least, but I do not want to bomb it. I am not sure where to start with it though, I have not had math class besides pre-cal since high school. I have KBB and was thinking about going through their math section and then jump into problems. I am not sure if this is the best way to do it.

ANY ADVICE?!?!

I got over 95 percentile on QR, so this is my method.

1. Read through KBB QR section and understand how to do every problem.
2. There's a full length test in KBB, and do the QR there.
3. Buy either 1. Math Destroyer (12 tests in a book) or 2. Crack the DAT Math (10 tests on computer with calculator). Both sell for about 100$ and comes with multiple practice tests.
4. Practice. It makes perfect.

Good luck.

My advice would be when you're practicing practice first on actually solving the problems before worrying about solving 40 of them in 45 minutes. For me I knew I would have the ability and focus to go through the problems quickly on test day as long as I actually knew how to do them. I used Math Destroyer, working through all the problems in it once, never really timing myself but making sure that I tried my hardest to solve each problem that I came up against without looking at the solutions in the back of the book, and when I got them wrong to understand what went wrong.

DAT math doesn't have to be hard, just make sure you understand why things are happening and you should be good. I consider myself 'bad' at math (failed pre-calc in high school) and still managed 97th percentile so there is definitely hope.
