Exam in 3 days...

Hello everyone,

I am taking the DAT in 3 days. I am not going to take the 2009 DAT exam because it doesn't seem feasible to me to pay for at this time. However, I have saved bootcamp's full length test 10. I was wondering if I should take it or just focus on reviewing?

If you haven't taken any full-lengths (only saying this because the individual tests are the same as the full-lengths, and I don't know how you've taken #1-9), then I'd take #10 to get the timing down because each section just pops up one after another, and you should test your fatigue too. Maybe stimulate the testing conditions- like two pieces of paper, a marker, extremely quiet setting, giving yourself a 30m break after PAT, etc. and see how you do. Disclaimer though, #10 came from DAT genius, and it's been said to be harder than #1-5 (which were the original BC tests) so don't get bummed if your scores aren't what they've been averaging out to be.

You can take the full-length tomorrow; tomorrow night either review it (if you're up for it) or review your notes; day after tomorrow review #10 if you don't do it tomorrow, and review little things that are still tripping you up but don't forget to relax too, and then test day ace it 😎

Good luck! Let us know how you do 🙂

My bad. I should've worded myself better! But I took all subjects from tests 1-5 individually, and I took tests 6-9 full length (as suggested by the study guide). I just didn't do test 10 specifically because I wanted to focus on reviewing more. I was wondering if not doing the test will make me not do as well on the real exam (if it contains lots of different questions as compared to tests 1-9.) Thanks for the good luck!

Thats what I did, I saved test 10 till 2 days before my exam, and then just reviewed the last day. Best of luck. Try not to study too hard the night before tho, you can risk getting burnt out.
