Guys- Less than 24 hours until my exam and i'm freaking...big time. Does anyone else have irrational fears that they're going to show up to their test and just forget everything/ be tested on tons of stuff they hadn't studied? For some reason, I just feel like i'm going to do terrible on this test... this totally sucks, I dont want to have to go through this again next year, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to have too. Any advice while its not too late? I know i'm going to do pretty poorly...this sucks. I guess I just want to know that other people might feel the same way- if not, please just lie to make me feel better. thanks.

Oh man, I feel ya. I'm taking it Tuesday, and I feel exactly the same. Ack, Just study the for half the day, and take it easy, do something to get your nerves down, do something fun not too extreme. Well good luck! I hope we both ace it!

hey man, you gotta stay calm. Just be as chill as possible the entire time between when you wake up and when you sit down in front of that computer. Thats how I was, not even nervous at all and honestly it helped. On top of that I didnt study at all for the DAT so I know that being cool under what some would call "pressure'' really helped me to just focus and recall the information that I did know.
So thats the advice. Pray, tell the Lord thank you for the opportunity that He has presented you with and be calm and confident. Good Luck.

If you are not ready, you should push off the test.
20 in October must be better than 17 in August.
However, if you are just being nervous, think about the bright side that you will be done with this cra* in 24 hrs. 😉
 
Guys- Thank you so much...the support it much appreciated. I'll post my scores tomorrow, even if I do bad. Thanks again.
 
I wish you all the very best, I will be praying for you guys. Just imagine yourselves walking out of the prometric center with the report showing your scores all 20+ 🙂 Think positively and you'll be more confident, hence more relaxed. You guys will do great....get some rest and a massage if possible!
