Thanks so much for this video! I'm curious if you had any tips for identifying "common ground" lines. Like in the last example, how could you tell the more vertical lines of 2 and 3 are common ground? They didn't look exactly parallel to me at first glance.
Hey, I know you said not to look at the answer choices, but that is how I do it and I get the answer I would say 90% of the time. So what I do is that I would like at the answer choices and most of the time they will give you two answer that are supposely the smallest one like for example 4 and 3. If you compare them then you will know which one is smaller, and you will reduce the answer choices and proceed to the next difference in the answer. for example if you know that 4 is the smalles and you have 2 answer that start with 4, and you elimine the other two. Now if the next number is 1 and 1 you know both of them are in the right path indicating that is bigger than 4. Then the next number is 3 and on the other answer it is 2, you compare them to see how different they are and that will give you your final answer. Hope that helps
brute force is the SINGLE worst strategy to this. Play the game. The answer choices guide you to do comparisons. lots of the time the answer choices will start with 3-4 or 4-3. compare 4 and 3 and knock out two answers. then move on. brute force wont work if you get tired. this will.
your playlist has been so helpful thank you so much cant believe its free
You Prolly are over this stuff, been 3 yrs, but you could've tried the DAT bootcamp
Thank you, Dr! So workable solutions and strategies.
Hey, thanks a lot Dr. Ryan! These are definitely strategies I will be using on test day!
Awesome, best of luck!
This is so good. Reminds me of Khan academy medicine. Your video has helped me in dental school.
Glad to hear that!

I figured if u just add a line and picture a triangle it’s super simple
That’s an interesting idea! But how do you know how to draw the third line consistently?
Hey Dr. Ryan I am averaging 30sec on a question for this section is that good enough??
30 seconds is definitely acceptable! I’d like you to keep practicing and push yourself closer to 20 seconds per question though!
How to start preparing for dat dr Ryan ?
Shd I go for Kaplan ??
I think the Kaplan material is okay, but I'd recommend DAT Booster!
