I've been studying for the DAT for a little over three months now. I've taken Kaplan, gone through Destroyer. I've read the blue book, the online resources, used wiki extensively. I just reactivated Kaplan because I test Weds the 13th. I took a Bio subject test today in Kaplan and did a little over 70 percent which I think translates into a 17 on the DAT and I did an O'chem too low to even mention on this board. I feel like I'm learning but my test practice scores aren't improving and at times seem to even drop. I don't think I can study any harder and I'm exhausted and burned out. Any suggestions. I guess I'll do a practice exam Sun and if I don't pull at least a 19, I guess I'll have to reschedule my exam. But Fall is coming and come the 18th I start with my Physics, Anat and Phys. Advice?...

Confused.

Man I feel the same way, I'm taking it the day after on the 14th. I AM TIRED. Just took a topscore practice ochem test and got a 17! I was a little disappointed. I really hope I don't just bomb this thing!

Kaplan subject tests dont correlate with the real thing one bit... try taking one of their full lengths, or a topscore test
