Hi everyone!
My DAT is one week out, and I want some advice on how to effectively prepare without burning out. I plan on studying for about 7 days and taking the final day before to relax and mentally prepare for the exam. I have taken 6 practice tests (2 Kaplan, 2 Princeton Review, Bootcamp (free), and ADA 2007), and have scored 20-22 for each section and a range of 17-19 for QR. Would it be worth my time to re-take a few practice exams to condition myself more for the real exam and look for improvement in all of my subjects, or would that be counter productive since I have already taken these exams once?
Also, does anyone have advice on how to manage time on QR? That has been my biggest issue when taking my exams. I usually go with the 2 pass method, but sometimes I lag when trying to recognize questions on how to solve certain problems, namely with Data Sufficiency. Those question types are my biggest weakness in the section.
Overall, I feel confident with my preparation, but definitely not over confident. I am mostly excited to take the exam, but again, I do not want to burn myself out before exam day.
Thanks!
