DAT THIS WEEK!!! Yikes..

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just finished my last top score.... i'm on deck for the 1st 😀

I'm trying not to freak out lol. Gonna try to relax before test day
 
July 2nd....👎

Wish I had more time to study. I'll barely make it through Cliffs AP Bio and Destroyer. I've done Destroyer Chem and Orgo both only once and I'm just halfway through Cliffs. Wimbledon and the Federation Cup really slowed me down this past week and a half. I did take the Kaplan class last semester so we'll see how much that helps.

Do you think I should focus on just Destroyer Bio or continue on with Cliffs? I also want to study some math but an unsure whether to use Kaplan or Destroyer material.

Good lucky everyone!
 
July 8th for me!
I've been freaking out since a week ago! 😱
i have to fly to Guam to take this so it's even more nervous since everything's gonna be so strange! At least i get to enjoy surfing after DAT! 😀

I wish you all GOOD LUCK!!! :xf:

Good luck! Just curious why you guys chose this week with July 4th and all?

for me it was unintentional. I mean it gave me enough time i thought after classes ended to study and feel more or less confident in the material... but what, do you hear the test is harder around this time? lol

and thanks all. im sure everyone wouldn't mind some luck
 
Good Luck as well, also, if you are taking topscore or any other practice test, dont freak out if you score low in a subsection. I scored the lowest I ever had on an organic topscore exam and I freaked out big time but come test day I did fine. Lesson is try not to overhaul studying right before the exam, relax the brain and casually study if that option exists for you.
 
make sure you take atleast one test two weeks before to know where you stand and prepare for the next two test. Dont take test a day before D-day b/c that wont give you chance to go over and will also make you tired. A day before you relax and go over notes.

GL! 👍

7/14 here...I have practice tests planned out every 3 days starting tomorrow. From this point on, Ill be reviewing my notes, hammering out the destroyer problems, and practice tests. I made flash cards for the destroyer roadmaps and other ochem reactions. Haven't gone thru em extensively yet, but Im hoping to memorize em all by judgement day. Good luck!
 
so you guys are all talking about how your dats are so soon but i thought id join in even though my test is july 23. so still have 3 weeks. it was supposed to be july 16 but i changed it bc i just needed that week. i was panicking way too much. havent started topscore or achiever yet. you think i should do one a day for 2 weeks before the test (except the day before) or you think i should start taking them sooner and space them out with days in between of just studying? ive never taken the dat before and im always doubting myself thinking the way im doing it is not the best way to study. what do you think?
 
finally done! I'll have a big breakdown later when I have a chance!
You guys here helped me out so much and I'll hopefully return the favor.
