Hey everyone. I guess what Im looking for, by posting this thread is some positive reinforcement, (since i get 0 from my family and friends) 😡 .

I studied 8 hrs a day for 20 days straight and got less than I expected, 17/17, on July 12th. During that session I took 4 practice tests ( Kaplan blue book, kaplan cd, ADA DAT practice test, and another kaplan practice)

Since Septemper 15th, I have been studying 10 hrs a day! I have already taken 6 practice tests,( kap blue book, kap cd, ada dat, 2 barrons, 1 kap).
I am continuing to study 10hrs a day, and am taking 7 more practice tests ( 3 topscore, 4 ace the dats), and will take the DAT on Oct. 22nd.

So my questions is, shouldnt the law of averages in itself give me at least a 19/19?!?!!?!?! Are there anyother SDNers that study this much? I have a 3.2, stellar recommendations from my research mentor, my dentist i shadowed, and 3 sci profs.

you'll be fine..i mean that. i see you at least pushing a 18 if not 20. 3.20 is solid but not spectacular but your letters will help for sure. good luck!

listen, i'm not gonna tell you that i think you are gonna do better. you know why? because i KNOW you are gonna do better.

go to the test, and just be confident. I mean like really confident; as if it was a practice test you paid for. don't think of your future; dont think of anything else; just give it your best.

seems to me you gave the DAT the studying it needs.

Go to the DAT, rock it; come back to SDN; and give us the good news buddy.

I wish you the best of luck...
