Are sig figs directly tested on the dat? (To what extent should one know sig figs?)

you should know them well..they might give answer choices for GC for example that will all be the same but there will be a difference in s.f. I haven't taken the DAT yet, but that's what I have seen on a few practice tests. After all- sign.figures are very basic...i think you should know them well.

DAT

Print from 21 to 23. Cover those subjects. No sig figs shown there.

significant figures is like knowing that sodium is a metal if you know what i mean...they obviously won't ask a question about them but knowing that 27x10^4 is not written properly is important imho

It's actually covered under the laboratory section, significant figures are important to know.
