I'm taking DAT Feb 4th. I'm done with studying and reviewing my notes and every single sample test I have. I'm doing destroyer for like fifth time. Sick of studying.
What do you recommend me to do in this last week?
I'm almost confident with everything but RC. still freaks me out. I'm getting random scores on this section like 15 on RC section in ADA 2009 sample test and 21 on topscore.
I'm just hoping to kill other sections.
Any suggestion is appreciated

Thanks
 
I was sick of studying too! And getting more and more nervous as days go by. Reviewing old questions is good because you won't make the same mistakes (hopefully). The day before I would suggest lightly studying and just chilling. The day of I would study lightly, but don't go crazy! During the exam, be confident and focused. If you get stuck... guess, mark, and move on. Time is crucial! Don't have any negative thoughts cause that could slow you down or make you pick wrong answers.

Reading Comprehension, I would suggest multi tasking of skimming and reading questions. Basically just move really fast and make sure the answer is REALLY the answer, if it's in the passage. You just have to be focused during this section even though it's not fun. Time yourself to about 18 minutes per passage. Good luck! You'll do well, just believe in yourself (yeah corny).
 
In my opinion your reading score on the real thing will be closest to Topscore. I probably had 45/50 questions be S&D, which is pretty much what topscore provides. Overall sounds like you're right on track to getting a beastly score. Good luck.
 
Thanks guys
I'll try to do my best
The only thing I'm thinking of is I'm gonna be free in a week !
Except that college starts two days after my test!
