The amount of calculation on the actual DAT?

I have done 2 math destroyer tests so far, and I found there are too many calculations for a 45 minutes tests. Even assuming that I know how to answer a question by just looking at it, I still need time to go through the calculations without a calculator.
1. Does the real DAT QR section have a similar amount of calculations?
2. I heard Crack the DAT Math can help you to get the timing down. Is it worth getting it?

I took the DAT a week or so ago, and yes, Math Destroyer is pretty intense, but if you get that down, you are guaranteed a 19 or higher on QR.

DAT kinda mimics the Destroyer, but its easier on the actual exam. Know how to do the questions in Destroyer, and you will be set!

In what ways destroyer is more intense? higher frequency of hard problems? more calculations?

The destroyer QR has a higher frequency of tougher problems than the actual DAT. However, do NOT forget about timing. It's near impossible to finish the QR on time by really working out all the questions, the slow, easy, methodical, and naturally obvious way!
