First, if you're still studying, I recommend you stop studying. It might be different for you, but in my case, studying the night before the test just freaked me out, and it kinda affected my sleep.
Next, prepare everything you need for tomorrow's test, so that you don't have to worry about it at the last minute. Your IDs, snacks, etc.
Finally, relax your brain. Go watch your favorite shows or meet up with your friends, or something.
Good luck!

When you're taking the test, focus on doing just that because that's what you're there to do. Imagine your goal of the day as to COMPLETE the DAT test and not to get a certain score. It'll help ease any doubtful thoughts of "omg I'm going to fail" or "I think I'm gonna have to retake".

I'm printing an "Ain't nobody got time for DAT" shirt specifically for the DAT

Good luck OP! You got this :)

Don't drink an enormous amount of water during the test. Don't forget to bring water!
