FREAKING OUT>>>>
 
I have 4 weeks too, August 1st. I am freaking out but I am too busy watching movies....
 
just for a little perspective, and this isn't to sound mean at all...

you've been posting way too many "freaking out!!" threads --> go study instead of wasting your time on here talking about how much you're freaking/stressing! if anything, it might help you calm down to go to the gym, or just get up away from the computer/desk and stretch and shake it off. it's not going to do you any good to post these things to see who's with you on the freak-out meter. i was going to respond to one of your other threads asking how much more studying we have to do, and my blood pressure started rising with my own stress as i started to type out how much i have to do in the next 3 weeks. so i stopped writing.

take a deep breath and get off this site if it's not to ask any real questions until your dat's over!!!! good luck! 😉
 
well...if we bomb DAT, we can retake it~ just relax 🙂 ....this is what i tell myself but I am still freaking out, LOL.
 
i took it once and it didnt go too well, this is my second time taking it so the pressure is way too much.

maybe u r right about getting away from my desk, its cluttered with tons of different books and just freaking me out looking at them wondering how will i manage get through all of them.

I think i will go hit the gym now.
 
Kneecoal is right...SDN can tend to make the already stressed turn into absolute wrecks. It seems like everyone on here is so motivated and focused and scoring so well on the DAT that it is often nerve-wracking! I admit I do it too...whenever I get hung up or burned out on studying, I always find myself on SDN. Seeing others' amazing scores is sometimes a kick in the butt, but its the procrastinating involved in browsing SDN that is not a good habit!
 
Well I'm on SDN 24/7, but that's because I'm already done with my DAT. I don't even know why people who have their DAT in front of them spend time on SDN, unless they have a question that can't be answered anywhere else.
I didn't even know SDN existed, when I was studying for my exam, and thank god for that. Because, if I saw all these amazing scores posted here, it would have definitely messed me up. Not that I would get jealous or anything. But seeing how intense the competition has really become is not a fact I need to become aware of a month before the exam.

Anyways, good luck to all you guys!👍
