Getting nervous

Hey guys,
I'm taking the DAT at the end of the month and I am getting pretty nervous. I have Topscore and have only been scoring 17's except for the reading. I know people say that the real DAT is a little easier than Topscore but how concerned should I be? I feel like I know the material well but then I take a test and don't know what happens.

Please help!

I would get to work on PAT especially. I was getting 22-23 on topscore and got 17 on the real deal. All my other scores went up 2-3 points though 🙂.

Can anyone offer me some advice on the aperture section of the PAT? It's killing me. I keep practicing but still manage to only get a few right 🙁

Always watch out for the obvious. Focus on VERY specific areas of the object. Dont be afraid to rotate the object and pass through backwards. Also practice drawing the Top, Front, Bottom views of each one of the apeture problems.
