Hi everyone, My DAT is next week and I'm getting real nervous. I have a few questions that need to be answered.
1. Should I go over Biology Section of DAT destroyer, is it necessary?
2. Haven't taken a practice exam yet, taking one on Saturday and other on Monday. Is this enough
3. And also need help in Math, I left this for the end and I feel like I have so much to learn, I'm planing doing math section in Destroyer and 3 Top Score exams, Is this enough for a 17. Thanks everyone
 
Mine is in 6 days... I know how you feel.

Why wouldn't you go over destroyer bio? I would go over bio destroyer asap. That way if you miss any you will know what to focus on these last couple of days.

Also, I wouldn't wait very long to take the practice tests. You havn't taken one timed full DAT yet? I think just getting the timing down is pretty important.

And you said you're planning on taking 2 tests? Topscore has 3 though.
 
If you are taking your test NOW you need more than 17 and if you go for 17, you may end up lower.
Take one test ASAP, even today and see where you are. Samlpe tests are important because you know which material is inforced in your head ans which one you think you know, but you don't.

If you did well in your practice test then read what you were missing and decide what to do.
If you saw based on your test that you may have major time/material issue, I would reschedule and study some more.
 
I'm not sure if you have programs like topscore or DAT achiever, but you don't have to take the entire test at once. Just take the section you think you're more ready for to get a good feel. For QR ( I got a 17), the best thing u can do is practice on speed, which i didnt do. I just skipped all the word problems and did all the easy ones. That should be sufficient for a 17. I spent less than a month actually studying for the DATs and did ALOT better than I expected. I was getting 16-18 on all the practice test end ended up with a pretty good score. Don't worry, you'll be fine.
 
Thanks everyone,

This is my plan then, I will take a full length test tomorrow, go over what I dont know and take another one on Sunday.

jrobb220: I actually took the test for # 1 separatly, like each section as I was studying, so I have only 2 left.

Thanks everyone for your replys and support

Well i was originally planing for August 4th, But because my mother just passed away, I had to reschedule it because I had a lot going on in my life, and needed the extra time. I know I can get a better score now then a month ago. So I'll see in 5 Days

1. Def go over the biology in destroyer. Go over it twice if you can.

2. Take topscore exams and review them. Take all 3

3. I did not study for math
