Hi everyone, my DAT is this week and i'm freaking out 🙁🙁🙁

I've gone through OC/Bio/GC destroyer twice, math destroyer 10 tests, all bootcamp science tests & a few RC/PATs, crack dat pat 10 tests, chad's videos, and topscore!

Pls help calm me:slap:
 
My prayers for you!!! You can kill it. 2 days before the test, try to relax and say to yourself that"If everyone can score 21s, I can do it". Be confident. Be confident. You will do better than it. I am not taking my. But very soon. I will try to calm myself too..

Hi dancer17

You have used some great DAT prep resources. At this point in your studies I would review any areas you need to strengthen .

I think it is important on the days leading up to the test to do what makes you feel the most comfortable, as for me I was the type of student who had to study right up to the day of the test, anything less would have made me more anxious.

Some students like to relax the day before the test, and the works for them. Do what works for you, and only you know that.

Most students are anxious before the test, that is normal. Stay positive and focused, believe you can.

Sending positive energy your way and wishing you the best on test day!

Take care..Nancy

Being nervous is natural. I just took my test a couple days ago and trust me you will be nervous. It's all about just controlling your breathing and taking a lot of deep breaths. Trust me this helps. Remember that you have studied so hard to this point; you've put in so much time and effort, you should be confident. Don't second guess yourself. Stay focused, and before the exam (this helped me alot) take a deep breath and right before you hit the button to begin, just say, "It's Showtime". This actually drained the stress out of me almost completely. Think back to the Pistons of the late 80's (even if you don't know anything about this the idea helps), the Pistons were in the finals, and they had been practicing a specific play for months. It was the final play I believe of the game (it was an NBA finals game against the Lakers) and the coach went to draw up the play, and then said, "If you guys don't know what the hell were doing by now, then you're never going to learn." This is the confidence and mindset you must have. Like I said, remember how much time you put it an BE CONFIDENT!
 
Thank you so much for the kind words, everyone! DAT is in a few days, will be sure to let you all know how it goes 🙂 Good luck to everyone else taking it soon!
