I'm just about ready to pull my hair out, scratch my eyes out and stab anyone that comes within 4ft of me.
My test is the day after tomorrow and I feel like I can't do anything. I am doing kaplan subject tests and just keep making the dumbest mistakes ever and averaging like 17-19 on all the effing sciences.
My brain just decided to stop working and I feel like I can't refocus. I still have so much to review one last time, but I can't get back on point.
Everytime I come across a topic I don't remember or can't understand I just turn blank. For the last 20 minutes, I have been sitting trying to figure out how to draw Fischer projections. FISCHER!!! Isn't that like OChem 101.
Blah!!!! What do I do, slash please tell me something that will motivate me again
 
I feel your struggle as I was just in that same state. I couldn't retain or recall anything so I took an hour break came back and my mind felt less cluttered. You got this exam take it easy!👍
 
I think you should go for a run, watch some tv, just anything to get your mind off of studying. Good luck!
 
OH MY GOD!!! I feel the same way!!! Today I was doing a practice test and I couldn't focus on the RC... I was like ehhhh what is this... I got so frustrated that I started shaking... flipped the ***k out... I did horrible on the test... I was ready to cancel my test and then after flipping out my friend was like chill out relax just take a day off you shouldn't be studying 2 days before the test just chill... so I went to my car opened the sunroof lowered the seat and stared at the clouds... it actually cleared my head and I was like if I don't take this test then everything I did would be pointless... this test is just one obstacle that stands between me and dental school... so I maned up and decided to take the day off and just review.. no more practice... just review things and build my confidence back up... I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one flipping

lmao...sorry dont mean to laugh but i feel the same way today i did kaplan natural science workshop and got LIT UP got like 16's and 17's idk wtf was up today so i went and saw the expendables lol, very well worth it haha got some anger out vicariously through the movie loll...i think our study meter is up all we can do is lightly study and just rest our brains as much as possible at this point.
 
ahhh, you guys have no idea how great these comments made me feel!
Haha its almost pathetic, but I have been so entirely all consumed with SDN and DAT bull****, and the fact that we're all going through this together is great.
When you're studying, none of your friends really understand how you feel and all your parents (at least all my parents) want to know is if I'm eating right and getting sleep....and only on here do I find people that speak my language haha.
You guys are awesome and I can't wait to read all of the perfect scores in the next few days.
We're all gonna take the August DAT scores out of their recent slump and bring those averages to 25's!!!!!
 
Ok, seriously y'all just need to relax. Y'all have been studying hard core for a while now, and y'all need to chill. cookie, if there is any advice that I can give, but I didn't follow, is to just completely relax the day before the test. I know it's gonna be hard not to open a book, but go drink a beer, milkshake, whatever your guilty pleasure, and watch some funny movies to relieve the tension. You'll be glad you did. Then, the morning of the test, review a few formulas to refresh your memory (but don't go haywire with this, just take a few minutes). Now, when you click the start button on the test, it truly is all about attitude. If you come across a question you don't know, pick an answer, mark it, and move on. AND DO NOT SECOND GUESS YOURSELF!!! Y'all got this.
 
im GOING TO SHOOT MYSELF
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
just.......taking a break before i go kill myself while studying biology....ive lost my mind
 
If you truly don't feel ready, you might want to consider postoning it. Better to take it a few days later and get a respectable score than having to wait another 3 months for a retake.

Good luck!
