yes, as the DAT date approaches, the freakout moments increase in intensity.

The good news is, it will ALL be over come this Wednesday
 
Id recommend not spending anymore time on this site until you are done with the dat. The days leading up to it, reading things can freak you out more. It helped me alot to just start reviewing and reviewing the last few days, no more new stuff, review missed problems, build the confidence. And do a couple fun things in the days leading up to the dat.
 
Make sure you don't study at all during the day that you're taking it and maybe the day before. Do something fun!
 
You can do light reviews, but don't learn anything new. Maybe you can review formulas something similar.
 
i totally understand your feeling. i wanted cry the entire week leading up my test date because my practice test scores were actually getting worse. the anxiety and stress tends to muddle your actual ability so just try to relax. all the information is already in your head. if you must, just go over the problems you had the most issues with during your practices.

good luck!

I totally feel that. My exam is next Tuesday and I am living and dying on each practice problem I take 🙁
 
Mine is next Wednesday too... my practice scores are getting worse.. there's so much I have to learn still, especially for QR.
 
I'm taking it next week too. All I can say is that the 4th of July is gonna feel like Independence Day for real.
 
my scores are getting worse too!! I felt confident last week but not this week and its this friday! 🙁

I'm losing motivation and focus, i used to be able to do practice exams but now its hard to sit thruogh one blahhh what did you guys do??
 
I think this is my first post ever on SDN...
Anyway, my DAT is next Tuesday and I am seriously freaking out. Overwhelmed doesn't begin to describe it! Good to see that I'm not alone though!

Just imagine how great it will feel when it's over!
