Anyone have tips on getting faster at QR? It takes me about 55 minutes to finish a Math Destroyer... I need to shave off 10 minutes and more if I want to go back and check answers! Any advice is appreciated
 
I am not fast at math by any means. If you are interested in reading my breakdown you'll get a better picture of my math background. Anyhow, I was way slower than you on math destroyer. I felt that there was no way I could get faster even after completing the entire book and meeting with a tutor. Someone here suggested DATQvault and I believe it helped me get faster. I just did all of the exams and then did them all over again. It's not as hard as destroyer but it's close. I ended up with a 17 in QR which I was very happy with. I ended up running out of time at the end and guessed on the last 3 or 4. I'm just lucky that I worked hard and learned some math anew for that score...if it wasn't for my fortitude I would have gotten perhaps a 13 or lower.

It initally took me around 50 minutes to finish a Math Destroyer section. The second pass, I clocked in around 40 minutes. On the real test, there is a lot of data interpretation that is not represented in destroyer. These questions are fast to complete if you know how to read graphs or charts. So, on the real exam I finished with 10 minutes to spare and got a 27. Best advice, if you don't know how to solve a problem skip it, mark it and go back to it if time permits. And, DO NOT USE THE CALCULATOR THEY PROVIDE FOR YOU. You should be fine. GL.

I am terrible at math but with the calculator, I was very good at plugging in the possible solutions into the problem and finding the correct one. This can shave off a large amount of time. I think I finished my math section with 15-20 minutes to spare.
