Hi guys!

For those who have already taken the DAT exam, how confident did you guys feel about the exam? I'm not talking about those who go in thinking 'I don't think I will be able to get 23+ on each subject. CRAP' but for those who went in thinking, 'I really would be happy with 19 on everything!'

My exam is next tuesday and 1) I'm so freaking sick of studying for this crap 2) I don't think I'll ever feel prepared 3) Why do I get so many questions wrong despite of all the studying?????

I hope I'm not the only one thinking this way.. I just want this thing to be over and be a dental student already!!! haha

just took my DAT today and got a 20 so I'm pretty happy with the scores, The night before I didn't feel ready, I never at any point felt ready your not the only one that feels this way. just keep working and it ll all come together.

I'm curious, too!

People who have already taken the DAT and did well, did you feel prepared?

i felt pretty confident for gc, oc and pat but not as much for bio, math or rc. if you have taken at least 2 full length practice tests i would recommend just focusing on reviewing more material than taking more tests. review material and possible get more practice for math and look at more bio questions as well since you can never cover enough bio. 🙂 good luck! you can do it! only few more days and you will be done!! so just put in your absolute best for these last few days!

A few days before the exam, I lost the urge to study and got really worried, I didn't feel confident at all when i was taking the exam, especially in org chem cause the highest score i got on topscore was a 14.......after i finished i was praying for at most an 18, i was so depressed at that point that i'd be happy even with a 17 on everything.
but when i saw my scores i nearly jumped up and yelled in amazement cause i got a 25 in org chem. my scores are AA 21 TS 21 PA 29

my first topscore practice test looked like this: (took it exactly one month b4 my exam)
AA 15
TS 15
Bio 15
Che 15
Org 12
QR 15
RC 20
PA 21

So i think feeling unconfident is normal cause most of the time you will feel like you'll never be able to study enough, especially for bio cause they can throw anything at you, and you either know it or u don't. But all in all I think that feeling unconfident will give you less of a chance of disappointing urself, so you'll be happy with what ever u get (just don't let ur nerves get to u while ur taking the test or you may freeze up)
