I have done fine on the few trig problems in the practice test.

Just like statistics, trig has < 5 questions and mostly straightforward. I don't remember seeing any advance stuff on that. However, it wouldn't hurt if you can go a step further by working on some challenging questions involving proving of identities, quadratic equations, ...

actually, i don't recall seeing ANY trig on my dat...it was all just basic algebra and word problems...
 
study the unit circle, and the inverse functions. I think 1 hour put into that will get you the trig points. Its working for me so far
