DAT Bootcamp Math Formula Sheet Review

Bootcamp gives away its DAT math formula sheet as a 2-page PDF that opens with no account, no email and no payment, and it is worth printing on the first day you start studying. It holds 20 formula blocks and 11 worked examples, which is close to everything you have to recall from memory for DAT quantitative reasoning. It contains no practice questions, so it can tell you what to remember and never whether you can use it under time pressure.

We opened the file on 23 September 2026, counted every block on both pages, and sorted those blocks into the math areas the ADA names in its own candidate guide. This review is what that count turned up, including one area the sheet leaves completely empty.

What the DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet is

Bootcamp calls this page the QR Formulas Cheat Sheet; the file itself is headed "Quantitative Reasoning Equation Cheat Sheet". Most students still search for it as the DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet, because that is what it was called when it lived at datbootcamp.com. It is published by Bootcamp, credited to Dr. Ari Rezaei, the founder of Bootcamp.com, reviewed by Dr. Joel Meyerson, and carries an updated date of March 25, 2026. Both pages carry a Bootcamp.com copyright line.

The layout is three columns per page, each column a stack of titled blocks. Page 1 runs logarithm rules, exponent rules, conversions, percent change, solutions and dilutions, distance and rate, compound interest, data sets, combined work, combinations versus permutations, and dice: 11 blocks. Page 2 runs letter arrangements, probability, deck of cards, statistics, box and whisker plot, normal distribution, geometry, linear equations, and quadratic equations: 9 more.

Eleven of those 20 blocks carry a fully worked example, not just the formula. Compound interest gets two. Nine blocks add a "Remember" note for the trap that particular formula sets, and those notes are the most useful thing on the sheet. The distance and rate block, for instance, ends with "When two things travel toward each other, add the two velocities together", then works the two-trains problem to 1.5 hours. That is the version of the formula you actually need at 67 seconds per question.

DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet review for 2026

Where the 20 blocks go, and the one gap

The ADA's 2026 DAT candidate guide sets quantitative reasoning at 40 items in 45 minutes, and describes its content in two parts: mathematical problems, which it breaks into algebra, data analysis and interpretation and sufficiency, quantitative comparison, and probability and statistics; and applied mathematics word problems. Sorting the sheet's 20 blocks into those categories shows where Bootcamp spent the space.

Every block on the sheet, sorted into the math areas the ADA lists in its 2026 candidate guide. Geometry is on the sheet but is not an area the ADA names separately.

Probability and statistics takes 7 blocks, more than any other area, and that weighting is right. It is the part of DAT math that most pre-dental students last saw in a single undergraduate course, and it is formula-dense: combinations against permutations, letter arrangements with repeats, at-least-one probability, z-scores, and the 68, 95 and 99.7 percent bands of the normal distribution are all things you either know cold or lose the item on.

The zero is the finding. Quantitative comparison is one of the four content areas the ADA names under mathematical problems, and the sheet has nothing on it. That is not really a flaw in the sheet, because quantitative comparison is an item format rather than a body of formulas: you are shown two quantities and asked which is larger, and the skill is deciding when you can answer without computing. But it does mean a student who prints this sheet, learns all of it, and assumes they have covered the section has missed a quarter of what the ADA lists. Get that part from the DAT quantitative reasoning guide and from timed practice, not from a formula sheet.

The trigonometry everyone expects is not there, and should not be

Copies of this sheet circulating on Quizlet, Scribd and Studocu are often described as covering trigonometry and the unit circle. The current file does not. There is no sine rule, no cosine rule, no unit circle, no identities.

That is correct, not a gap. The ADA's own quantitative reasoning outline does not list trigonometry anywhere. Several of the re-uploads floating around the search results are scans of the 2014 edition of this sheet, and the old datbootcamp.com link that pre-dental forums passed around for years now redirects to Bootcamp's DAT landing page. If you downloaded a copy before 2026, replace it with the current one rather than trusting a file whose provenance you cannot check.

The same applies to geometry. The sheet gives you one block: area and circumference of a circle, area of a triangle, area of a square. The ADA does not name geometry as its own area, so a thin block is a defensible choice, but it is thinner than most students expect. Volume, surface area and the properties of similar triangles are not on the sheet.

What it cannot do

There is not one practice question on either page. The sheet is a recall aid, and reading a formula sheet is one of the most convincing ways to feel productive while learning nothing. The formulas here are short enough that you will recognise all of them on sight within two days, which is not the same as being able to set up a combined work problem in 40 seconds.

Pair it with questions from the first week. Our free DAT quantitative reasoning practice runs in the browser and costs nothing, and the free worksheet sets from Effortless Math and Math Notion give you more volume in the same topics. Work a set, and every time you reach for the sheet, mark the block. The blocks you reach for twice are the ones to put on a flashcard.

One practical note. The ADA provides a digital calculator for this section, and prints a picture of it in the candidate guide. Knowing what it can do changes which formulas on this sheet you genuinely need to memorise and which you only need to recognise, so look at that image before you start drilling.

Pricing

The sheet is free, and free here means what it should. The file is embedded on a public page and also sits behind a public Google Drive link, so it opens with no account, no email capture and no trial clock. Nothing expires, and you can download it and print it.

Bootcamp's reason for giving it away is not hidden. The formula sheet is the content half of a product whose other half, the question banks and full-length practice tests, is paid, and the page itself is surrounded by links to start a free account. That is a fair trade and the sheet is not crippled to make the point. If you want the practice side, our DAT Bootcamp review covers what the paid plans include, and current offers sit on our DAT discounts page.

Bootcamp gives away a general chemistry equation sheet on the same terms, which is worth grabbing in the same sitting.

Who the DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet is best for

It is best for the student who has not done formal math in a few years and needs to know the size of the problem. Twenty blocks is a reassuringly short list, and working down it is a realistic first week: learn the blocks, then spend the remaining weeks on speed rather than recall.

It also suits anyone prepping on no budget. Between this sheet, the free biology material on our DAT hub and free question sets, a student who cannot spend anything can still cover quantitative reasoning properly.

It is a poor fit if you are already scoring well on practice sets and losing points to timing. Nothing on these two pages will make you faster. It is also a poor fit as a first encounter with the material: the blocks state formulas, they do not teach them, so if standard deviation is new to you, a lesson comes first and the sheet comes after.

When you might look elsewhere

• You need practice, not recall. The free worksheet sets at Effortless Math and Math Notion are the cheapest way to get volume on exactly these topics, and both are also free.
• You need biology, not math. The Bootcamp DAT biology notes are the same idea at 136 pages, and the rest of what we have checked sits on the DAT cheat sheets page.
• You want everything free in one place. Our free DAT resources guide lists what is worth your time across all four sections, with the same test applied to each: does it hold up when you open it. How we run that test is on our review methodology page.

Final verdict

DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet FAQs

Is the DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet free?

Yes. It is embedded on Bootcamp's own page and also linked as a Google Drive PDF, and both open without an account, an email address or a payment. You can download and print it, and nothing about it expires.

Does the formula sheet cover trigonometry?

No. The current sheet has no trigonometry, no unit circle and no identities, despite what older re-uploads on Quizlet and Scribd claim. The ADA does not list trigonometry in its quantitative reasoning outline either, so the omission is deliberate rather than a gap.

How long is the DAT Bootcamp math formula sheet?

Two pages, holding 20 titled formula blocks, 11 worked examples and 9 "Remember" notes. The first page covers algebra rules and the word problem formulas, and the second covers probability, statistics, geometry and equations of lines and parabolas.

Is the formula sheet enough to prepare for DAT quantitative reasoning?

No, and it is not meant to be. It holds the formulas you have to recall, but the section is 40 items in 45 minutes and nothing on the sheet addresses quantitative comparison items or timing. Use it alongside timed practice sets from the first week of studying.

Where did the old DAT Bootcamp formula sheet link go?

The datbootcamp.com PDF link that circulated on pre-dental forums now redirects to Bootcamp's DAT landing page and serves no file. The current sheet lives on Bootcamp's QR Formulas Cheat Sheet page, and it was last updated in March 2026.
