I have 1 week left just because I went back to school, so I don't have time to study much. This is the 2nd time I take DAT. Any advice to get a good score. I'm really nervous and really need a good score to catch up get in dental school 2009. HELP

Did you at least study during the summer?

It's really hard to give advice for studying for 1 week straight. Unless you can somehow pull off studying day and night that week.

Just review what you have been studying. Go over your notes/flashcards. Get a good nights sleep before the exam.

Have you taken any full length practice exams yet? Are your applications and fees submitted?

Yeah, I practice alot in Kaplan book, Topscore, Barron book. But the score is not good enough as I want. So I'm really scare. Some schools asked the second application and fees, i also submited some application and paid already.

Oh then you're straight. The only thing you need to do is rock out that exam =D! Good Luck. How are your practice scores looking?

The week before the exam, I didnt sit down to study anymore, just went over the flashcard, and try to remember all the material you have been studying...Dont be panic, If you have been studying, you are ready to go...Good luck

remember do not get discouraged by your practice scores they don't matter, but make sure to learn from ALL your mistakes because this will help you on test day and in getting the ONLY score that will matter. until test day keep reviewing ur biology notes, organic reactions, chem concepts/formulas...be sure to address any weak points and know your strengths. good luck.

I am in sanfrancisco, make sure you are ready...If you are not dont bother to waste your chance, I talked to admission director and dean of education in UCSF, they told me that you have to score good the first couple time or else dental school will look at you with diff eyes
