I have my DAT this Friday and now I'm starting to just look for ways that will maximize my score in the amount of time I have. I was wondering if anybody who recently took it had any tips or things they wish they did in the last week? Also, is the 2009 DAT worth taking as a full length? I have about two days and I have BC full length #5 untouched. I was not planning on doing a full length the day before my actual. Any advice would help a lot.

Best of luck 🙂
I hope you get very high scores.
I don't know which is better full-length BC or 2009. Even if you decided not take one of them as a full length, just make sure you look at the sections individually. Especially the math section on BC full length since it has the latest qr questions

Personally, I would go with 2009. The score you get on that is usually regarded as being close to the score you get on the actual exam. So it can help you gauge if you're truly ready or not.

Best of luck.

Ah there's pros and cons to both haha

Take one today and one tomorrow (start at the time you're scheduled to take the real DAT, so that you're completely adjusted to the test). That said, I don't think there's much you can do to change your scores within the next 2 days, just cram any last minute facts you need to memorize at this point.

I would take the 2009 because that test was written by the ADA and it the closest thing you can get. Nothing will predict your score with 100 percent accuracy. The 2009 will flush out any areas of weakness. You should score at least an 18 , if you score well under that unless you made some careless mistakes, I would consider rescheduling the DAT.

Just my 2 cents after many many years of experience.

Thanks, I guess I will take the other practice tomorrow haha. I will do the 2009 today and the BC #5 tomorrow morning.
