I am registering for DAT. What time in the day should be the most effective to take the test (8AM, 10AM, 12PM, 14PM)? Anybody has any experience on this?
Thanks.

in other words, start the test at the latest time possible, 2pm? thats when i will take it, so i can sleep in and get a good meal before i take it

10 am, light meal + lots of glucose during the break and right before you take the test. Brain cells are dependent on glucose as a source of energy & do not even need any hormones (e.g. insulin) to absorb glucose.

I think 10:00am is good 🙂
Im taking it at 8am so I can actually relax the rest of the day and hopefully drink my self into a non learning coma, so I can stop imagining what my dining room chair look like from the top or if it will fit through the keyhole in my mind, and what hormone does this, and what phylum is that, and how many moles of this makes that. You get the point.
 
I would say take it when you are at your best during the day. So for that, you need to figure it out yourself......hahahaha

lmao...i totally agree with u about the dining room chair thing :Big Grin:
 
i took it at 12pm...woke up around 10am...ate a good breakfast and gave myself plenty of time to find the test taking center. I took a granola bar to eat during the break.

Met up with some friends after the test for lunch and lots of drinks!!!

Good Luck!
