I got the same way but figured if I really wasn't ready I'd be able to focus more. You've probably come close to maxing out on your memorization so relax, do some practice exams and be confident. That's the most important part.
 
yapp, I feel the same way as you do, except that I have a summer class too
goshhhhhhh I am dying, when It is going to be ended......

Don't study for a day or two...Go out and have some fun for a couple of days.
Take the test when ready.

I agree with this advice. Don't take it until you are ready.

Well studying requires both time AND mental stamina. One without the other is useless. It sounds like you need to re-energize yourself.

I suggest waking up one morning, and devoting half a day to something you absolutely love to do (swim, bike, paint, go out with friends, etc.) and during this time try your hardest to forget that the DAT even exists.

Then go home, shower, change your clothes and start studying in a well lit environment. Lighting makes a huge difference to your eyes, which will definately have an equal impact on your mind.

Good luck!
 
I was like you last summer, so then I decided to just write it. Ended up that I got 22/22/21. Good luck. If you study too much it can be bad, and also the other way around if you don't study enough. Just DO TESTS NOW, do not study anymore. Do the tests to see which are your weak points. GOOD LUCK.
 
Do some practice tests and also study the material that you may have trouble remembering.
Remember that you can do IT. 👍

Your 'smilies' icons describe it all. haha. I felt the same way but I took 2 days off and I found myself re-energized. At that point I started taking practice exams and going over them. The second time I felt that way I just took the exam and got it over with. When I took it I felt like I couldn't tolerate another day of studying. It was the end point (like in titrations) for me. I felt completely ready all of the sudden. :idea: This was my chance to show off my hard work. After all that studying I had no need to be nervous. 😎 I wish you all the best!
 
So it went something like this:

🙂 :scared: 😕 😱 +pity+ :wow: :barf: :idea: 😎 and then sleep!!! 😴
 
I think I'm getting burned out too. Just took the first Kaplan SNS Subject test, and got these scores:
Bio - 20
Gchem - 17!
Ochem - 25

Of the 9 problems I missed in Gchem, 6 were because I did the basic arithmatic wrong! I think maybe I should take a break too 😛
 
OK, see, my kaplan course ends ina couple of weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i HAVeNT even gone through all the practice tests, subjects tests yet!!!

i bought DAT achiever, and i am scared.

I HATE THIS DAMN TEST! i have been studying for a while, and everytime i read anything now, ITS LIKE IM LOOKING AT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME....or that IVE NEVER SEEN IT. what the hell. what the hell. i, am upset.

i feel like if i take a break, I am wasting time. I KNOW I NEED LOTS more studying especially the CHEMS, for some reason i CANNOT DO GEN CHEM CALCULATIONS? why is this? ok, now i am more upset writing about this. i am just freaking OUT a little i think. goodbye again.
