Hey guys,
So I'm taking the DAT on Wednesday (5-24) and I am finished reviewing all of the subject material. I made a ton of flashcards to look at to keep it fresh in my mind over the next week. I took a week off from work and have nothing to do but PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE these next 7 days. Do you guys think I will get burned out if I take full length practice tests 5 days in a row as well as 3-4 subject tests per day? I want to practice as much as possible and be as sharp as I can, but I just want to get your advice on what the daily limit should be. I would hate to over work and screw myself for test day. Any tips from experienced test takers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would take it easy the day before the exam to rest and prepare for the actual test day. No extra studying will really help you at that point. 🙂

Focus on taking full length exams. Also make sure to reivew why you missed the ones you did.

Do as many as you can, but don't over do it.

Good luck.

I agree. Full length exams is the way to go. Then just do a little light reviewing of any problem areas. I tried to take the day before the test off but I couldn't do it. I had to just keep looking over subjects to keep me from worrying. Good Luck!

I truly believe in relaxing the day before the test and not doing any additional studying. It's important to focus on keeping yourself mentally and physically healthy at this point! Look through your flashcards before the test and don't freak out...you may be able to pick up a few new things but you know what you know and you'll do great.

Just keep plugging away...I learned a ton of g-chem the night before my test. Good Luck and use every last minute so you only have to take the test once.
