Everyone says to not study the day before the DAT (or any other big test). I don't get the point. I'm taking it easy today (test tomorrow morning :scared:) but why are you not supposed to study so much then?

I don't know...I studied the day before mine and i didn't do so well...🙁 maybe it's so that you calm down. I think I started freaking out more because I saw how much material there was going to be on the real thing, that I actually freaked out on the real thing.

Relax, watch a movie, sleep, read a good book, just don't freak yourself out 🙂 ...like that's possible, right?

sorry...i just read my post, doesn't really do anything to alleviate the pressure, does it? anyway, relax, you'll do fine, you know your stuff! just have confidence in yourself 🙂
 
Review areas u know u have a bit of trouble with. I reviewed these areas the night before the test and even studied some new information the night before - I thought it was beneficial! Just don't try to cram too much info the night before and stress yourself out...get a good nights rest!
 
for sure...nothing is more important than getting enough sleep the night before. eat a light breakfast with some fruit, and don't drink too much water. some light reviewing before the test is probably a good idea.
 
Thanks guys. I've been taking it pretty easy so far today with the studying. I've been studying so much lately that my eyes literally would hurt each day. That's the main reason why I don't have my nose in the books right now. It just feels like such a waste of study time.
As for sleep, I've been going to bed early this whole week to get ready, but I still have to get up at around 6 for the test...
I just can't wait to make a post with my own DAT scores and breakdown like everyone else does haha.

By today, you know your stuff or you don't. "one day studying" is not going to add anything to your knowladge.
good luck 👍
 
Just Relax, study if u want but a little bit, I didn't study, I went to a movie, then to the spa and slept super early 🙄
 
Well...I studied the most I ever studied the day before.
Did Destroyer Gchem, some bio, reviewed my notes (I highly recommend that you write bio notes about 1 week before D-day that include everything you don't know).
Then I reviewed an hour when I woke up and 30 mins before test.

I don't think it helped on any questions, but wh
o knows. I seriously can't remember more than 10 questions on science.
