Been studying all summer. Taken around 8 or 9 practice test, and not a single one over 18.. most of them are 17s.. my DAT is in two days..

Anyone out there who did better than their practice exams? I've done Achiever.. (which needless to say doesn't give the greatest representation..) and I've done a free kaplan practice test and topscore.. Nothing but a fat 17.

Any one out there with some ray of hope..?

Thanks..

hey hang in there...just focus on your weak areas and based on what people say focus mostly on genchem and orgo (or even math if you're weak there) because there is not that much you can do about bio since it's so broad.

you've taken enough practice exams so just go over the problems you've gotten wrong and repeat them until you really know them.

just remember relax and go with confidence and usually your actual DAT score will be 1-3 points higher.

seriously, just relax and go own the exam like a boss 🙂

i'm also saying these to myself cuz my exam is less than 9 days!

good luck!

Thank you for the encouragements 🙂 I'm ready to give up at this point, but then I wouldn't be able to say I gave it all I had.. Guess I should do more gen chem..

Wish you guys all the luck on your exams!

Don't worry! I feel the same way. The practice tests aren't a fair depiction of how the actual test will go. Just try your best and give it your final push until test day! Let us know how it goes, and I wish you the best of luck!
