I was looking at the DAT resources on the ADA.org website and I read in one of the power points that Trig, geometry and numerical converisons were eliminated? Did i read that wrong or is that true? I am preparing to take the DAT on Oct 20th so was trying to figure out if I need to study that or not? ANYONE KNOW?
QR section on DAT?

I believe that trig,, geometry, and numerical conversions will be on the DAT for the rest of this year. I took the DAT in July and they were included. Starting 2013 they will start implementing the pretesting for the critical thinking portion of the Quantitative reasoning section.

I took it yesterday and missed several trig questions, so I can guarantee you they are there as of now.

+1, many dental schools actually petitioned to get to remove QR from the dat portion b/c its useless. they even make fun of it at the interviews. but on the other side you cant score below 14 they dont like that.

"Please note that these changes will go into effect no sooner than 2015." according to

Argh, I'm probably going to be taking the DAT at the start of 2015 and math is my favorite subject. How exactly are they going to be changing QR? Looks like I'm going to be the test dummy.
