For those who are taking the DAT on Friday, what do you suggest to go over for the next ~1.5 days...

 

[BlueEyes'06]

first of all review little bit of everything, so every subject will have a little "shelf" in your head (things cannot be all over!!!), formulas, conversions......second relax!!!! this is so important and I mean it !!! it's so upsetting when u go there and u see the questions but so nervous that u can't answer it (trust me been there, retaking it now).....the day of your exam you CANNOT BE NERVOUS, calm yourself down and go with the flow!! 🙂 GOOD LUCK!! on friday and I"m waiting for u to post those amazing scores 20+!!!! 🙂

thank you Blueyes...how did you calm yourself down on the test day?

If I can get enough sleep the night before the test day, I'd like to do the following...

8-9AM -- go to the gym for an hour (swim and run)
9-10AM -- go home to do the last min study and meditate for 15 mins
10-11AM -- starbuck's time, I want to get there at least 1/2 hour early. hopefully my heart rate will go down a little
11AM -- 3:30 (you know what!!!)

Suggestions, anyone?

<== ME!!

It seems like everything i concentrate on goes up, but then everything else is lacking.

Achiever 1 = PAT 16
Gchem 19
Ochem 19

Just finished Achiever 2 = PAT 21
Gchem 16
Ochem 15 ???

It was recommended not to take any practice exams the day before, but I really want to try Achiever 3 tomorrow. What do you guys think?

As for review, Im going through Destroyer again, but only the problems I missed 1st time around.

I was thinking about going to the gym tonight, but I don't want to get hurt or anything. So, Im just going to stay home where its safe..lol...

Oh, and also; Any suggestions on what not to eat the day before test? i.e. mayonase, ham, turkey, oh and powerade. Gatorade is ok though, so Im told.

I think I'm going to bring trail mix, gatorade, and a powerbar for the break?

sound like a good plan, but i would cut gym and swim (that's just me ), first time i was taking it i was way too nervous and i was takin it at 4:30 p.m. (never again, always taking it in the morning), i didn't come myself that day all i could think of that day is HOLY MOLY ITS HERE AND I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING 🙂)............BE CALM THAT'S THE KEY TO DAT!!!

I want to simulate the test day as much as possible, so I got up early this morning to go to the gym (didn’t get hurt &#61514😉 for an hour, when I got out I felt good, my mind was wide awake and I was enthusiastic to do some problems.

One comment, DO NOT DRINK Gatorade because you won’t have time to get up every minute (literally) to use the restroom. I already checked out the place, there is only ONE restroom (M&F) for the entire center. The last thing I want is to wait in the line while think how many more min left on your test…

Good luck
and yes, limit liquid intake cause you can't afford bathroom time!!!

GOOD LUCK!
