Good luck on the DAT! Just remember that you are not defined by your score. I'm sure that you'll do great, but in case you don't get the exact score that you would have liked, remember that adcoms take much more into consideration than just your DAT score. If you blow the DAT out of the water don't let it go to your head. Best of luck to you! 👍

this is what i did...we'll see if it payed off or not really soon
my first read of the kaplan book was slow and did only 2 chaps a day and took notes on them
it took about 2 weeks to read the whole book
then i read shaums bio--took notes in the margins
then re read kaplans book pretty quickly like a week to read the whole book again (you pick up alot more this way)
and then now i've been taking tests and trying to figure out math and for the past 3-4 days just reviewing stuff

Thanks for the response, Sunny. I've been studying the Kaplan subject tests and Natural Science integration tests pretty diligently and reread the Bio section last week. I'm actually going to read the Kaplan AP Bio review text in the next couple days.

I'm getting to a point now where I think I'm ready, but don't want to move my test date up from 7/25. Sheer fear!!

haha i feel ya.... my test date was 7/27. but i moved it to 7/16 today since there was one available. I just want to get it over with and start having a life again. the way i studied was similar to Sunny's. It took me about 3 weeks to go over the bio in the kaplan, i went pretty slow and took notes. then for the last 2 weeks ive been rereading the whole book in one day and making sure i know everything. i rotated days on bio, then chem, then o chem. and now im just taking practice tests as well and going over them.

I think I better get mine over with, because I meant to say that I'd be taking it tomorrow if I hadn't rescheduled it. Of course, that's when I thought it was Thursday today...I think I'm driving myself insane. :laugh:

Just want to add to what cowsgomoo said.

Remember you can Do it but We can't help now becasue it is too late. jk. Good luck guys. Just keep your composure and you will do well. It's about staying calm when you don;t know one or two questions and do well on the ones you know. Don't let that few curve balls get you. Just focus and you guys will be fine.

I didn’t have that type of gen chem question and I would think even if you get it to guess and move on as it takes too long to solve. Then if you have time at the end of the test go back and attempt it. Same with redox reactions you have to balance.

Yes it went well with the selfish dude, he's been hounding people who took the DAT for specific questions, but is not willing to do the same after he took his.
