DAT in 2 days and I'm nonchalant.

So I have been putting off taking this test since July and it's finally here. Instead of being nervous or anxious I'm just blah. I don't even want to look at a book or do anything else pertaining to the DAT. Don't get me wrong, in no way, shape, or form do I completely feel prepared. Or even halfway prepared. There are things in the chems that I'm not sure about, bio--ATPs/NADH/AMPS I don't know anymore they are all the same.

I guess I have spent so much time doing this that I just don't care. I should be studying my ass off, but instead I just feel like, oh well I'll do my best Friday and worse comes to worse I'll retake in 3 months.

I don't know what's wrong with me. Does anyone have any advice, or have gone through the same thing? I have been trying to motivate myself--I wrote a list of all the things I'm still not clear about and that I need to go over. But I can't do any of it.

Help??😕

well, i think everyone feels the same way right before the big day. I know i did. two days before the exam, i felt like i spent 3 months studying nothing. I was forgetting everything and was panicking like crazy. Made me feel sick.

Its normal, but once you get to the tutorial and get into your groove, everything comes to you, and there is such clarity in your mind. I was so focused during the exam, it honestly did not feel like a five hour exam, much shorter.

You studied as hard as you could, no one could cover everything, these are major and broad subjects. Just relax and focus on test day, you will do fine.🙂

Nonchalant is good. Being nonchalant is much better than being nervous. At least you guys are calm so you can think straight during the test.

Nonchalant? It's almost July and you havn't taken the DAT yet?!?!?!?! Boy, there's nothing to be nonchalant about when you're not getting in this cycle!!!!!!!!!!
