Will study more and take again. Also going to take a serious look at ACT now.

how did your kids do? should we cancel before we get the score?

Same. DD in Calc BC and couldn’t answer 1 free response at all and guessed at 2 multiple choice. She said the second math module was crazy hard and came out stunned. She also said she couldn’t even have studied to prepare for those and is convinced one had an error in the set up.

What do you mean by an error in the set up?

OP here, my daughter said the same, one wasnt set up correctly

Maybe it was an experimental question.

Unless the student is applying to Georgetown, the only college that requires all scores to be reported, there would be no reason to cancel.

Georgetown isn’t the only one. George Washington also requires you to report all sittings, and you can’t self report. MIT allows self report but says “Students should self-report scores from all exams taken, and MIT will consider the super-score in our review process”.

Junior DS, who’s in IB math also said the second part was very hard and didn’t get through all of the questions. He said he had to take a totally random guess at one of the free response questions.

My daughter took August and October and said today’s math section was the easiest she’s had

Sorry - I hit submit too soon. She’s taken all three bc she needs 20-30 more points on the reading (she has 790 math from August). My point is don’t worry - the math gets much easier with practice and exposure! There are also YouTube videos that highlight all the hardest problems that have appeared on the DSAT. If they study that, it helps a lot.
