So here I sit at 1250 in the AM writing this entry. My mind is delirious. I am exhausted; mentally. You know when you get that funny feeling in your eyes like you have not slept. Mine are doing that right now.

Took two CDP tests yesterday (19 on both) studied bio (4 chapters), destroyer (orgo, bio, QR), gchem prblems and notes from class.

For the last 2-2.5 months I have studied for this test. A re-take for me. I did not study some 10-15 hours a day like some of you. Maybe 4-10 hours a day depending on my mood and my ability to keep from hurling when I looked at the books or the computer.

Some days, I admit, I did not study. Needed a mental break so I did non thinking types of things. Like watch TV and figured out that there is this guy named Obama running for president and McCain chose a woman as VP which further led me to realize she lies not becasue she is a woman but because she is a politician; I mean really a pitbull with lipstick, whatever............."I did not have sexual relations with that woman; not now not ever" (sound familiar?).

As I close here (because I swear my study material knows my name and I can hear them calling me in the middle of the night) I bid you ado wish those that are taking this god awful test in the coming days the best of luck and I shall see you all when I am finitto with mine.

True. Some of my down time was watching new releases online.

As for stress. It is what it is. I ahve been through this before and I feel that really helps keep me from flying off the handle.

Good luck on yours and stop rescheduling😉

Best thing to do now is to change your sleeping habits so you're fully rested.

As for stress, I'd honestly smoke something every day for the next 5 days.

As for studying, I wouldn't do ANY probems. Just try to review your basic notes

Goodluck man, I know how you feel

You should definitely start going to bed early and waking up about 2 hours before you have scheduled your test for. It trains your body to be thinking by that time. I chose not to study the day before my test - I had all my friends keep me distracted by playing tennis and going out for meals and just hanging out. I didn't want to think about the material. In the evening the night before the test I reviewed the couple things that I always had trouble remembering and went to bed early of course.

In the morning of the test I ate about 3 bananas, eggs and coffee (but only because I had coffee everyday that I studied) and drank tons of water. If you're optimally hydrated it helps you think quantitatively - or as I read in Mens Health haha.

At the test, stay relaxed the whole way through!!! you will score higher because you're not stressed, promise! And just keep trucking through, don't get fixated on the one question you weren't sure if you answered correctly 10 questions behind you... it will distract you from answering the current question.

i wouldn't drink TOO much water. the last thing you want is needing to go to the bathroom in the middle of the DAT! but definitely relax the day before the test (i played ping pong and had korean BBQ--->good **** btw) i would also try to know as much as the destroyer road maps as much as possible. good luck man!👍
