Hey guys, LONNNG time viewer but never really posted. Congratulations to everyone who had success on their DAT! I am taking mine the 25th, but I have a slightly interesting story on why I am taking it so late.

So originally I was scheduled to take my exam the 14th of July. I studied ALL SUMMER for the damn thing, reading breakdowns and preparing the best I could. Now enter July 13th, the day before my exam. I am very calm at this point, can't really study much more, but more importantly, I have slight stomach pain. I figured this is from stress so I paid it no real attention. As the hours passed it got worse, until I was worried that it was something more serious. My DAT was at 8 am the next morning and I needed to be in good condition. By 7pm it was STILL not getting better and the pain was much more severe, so I went to the emergency room. Guess what I had? An appendicitis. Lol. They told me at 12 a.m, the day of my exam, that I had an appendicits. My surgery was at 3 am, 5 hours before my exam, obviously which I would miss.

Longer story short I had my DAT rescheduled to the earliest time the 25th of August. Due to my condition I took a 2 week break from studying, then I had my sisters wedding, and coming back to studying was very slow and hard. I don't feel like I know anything anymore (very hard to refresh/ remember everything I knew before), so if someone could give me good advice on how to spend my time for the last couple days I would appreciate it.

If I do decent enough on the DAT I'll update this thread, if not I'm probably sulking somewhere with my tail between my legs lol

Ramadan Mubarak to those fasting, please make dua for me JazakAllah khair 🙂

Hope you're feeling better man...that's a wild scenario. Glad you're ok. Hopefully some DAT vets will chime and and let you know what to do for the next 2 days, because I've yet to take my DAT. Best of luck to you!
