hey guys!

i've been reading a lot DAT posts this summer...it was really helpful. but i'm still panicking. i'm taking it for the first time on monday. any advice on what i should do? still studying...pulled an all-nighter last night and plan on doing it tonight as well. i've already applied and heard from few schools. but i just can't help being :scared:!
 
ok so your test is monday and its your first time, so its normal to be nervous. for sunday i suggest very light studying and let your brain rest. if you end up studying alot on sunday you will be burnt out for the next day (trust me i know from experience). i went over flash cards on the last day because you know what? i didnt feel like studying anymore after a whole summer of grueling sciences.

if you've been constant with your studies and placed in a good amount of time you should be fine.
 
Hey.. mine is on monday as well but for the second time. For the first DAT, I studied the day before a lot and I really didnt learn anything new. This time, im just going to relax and play some video games lol... and oh yeah dont read any "I just took my DAT posts" people will overexaggerate and just make you more nervous and scared.

btw where are you taking yours?
 
Hi eva,
the best advice I can give you is to not stress!!! i took the DAT in June and I was freaking out right before the test started, and it really affected my scores! try your best not to be nervous. also, don't study too much the last few days before the test because it will just stress you out even more.
good luck, i'm sure you will do great! 🙂
 
Don't study the night before at all. The probability of things you study the nighy before showing up on the actual test is low. So get your brain some recovery time and be confident. Good luck!
