Hey SDN,
How do you know if you're ready to take on the real DAT bio? I feel as if you can never be ready haha there's soo much. I've gone thru destroyer about 3 times now and it's to the point where I can already recognize the answer from doing it so many times. My average qvault score is around 18.5 and first 2 achiever tests I've gotten 15,17. I take the DAT next Thursday and just wanted you're guys input on if you think I'm ready or not.
Thanks in advance!

when you start to review bio, and you realize that you have reviewed this material so much that you can't look at it anymore.

My test is on wednesday and I think I am pretty close to this point. I dry heave every time I see anything about taxonomy or plants. You won't ever know everything, just have to get as much in as you can so you have the knowledge to reason things out. Make sure to condense information as much as possible.. and focus on how things relate to each other. Just keep at it, and when your day comes, be comfortable knowing that you did all you could.

I personally don't think you are quite ready to put the notes down... review till the day before your exam. Take the day prior to the DAT off.

Not trying to be critical, so sorry if I came across that way. I think your scores on DatQ are around the average. It looks like you could still use some valuable time with notes or just going over more questions. But only go over question/read notes in the areas that you are struggling with. This of course is going off of how I feel about DAT bio... I dont want a 20, i want a 22-24 so bringing up my score can only be made possible by reviewing. My DAT is on the 8th and am going to go over notes and qvault problems everyday to ensure I don't make the same mistakes twice. So maybe you dont need to 'study', but you should review.

haha no I didn't mean to respond like that, my bad, but I agree. I made a bunch of flash cards from alan's notes, my notes from Cliffs, and notes from destroyer, which I have been reviewing everyday. I found it very helpful today to re-read the chapters I was weak on in Cliffs AP. I also went thru the practice test at the end of the book and did pretty well, so hopefully I can get that 20-22 on BIO. I just wanted to see if I was on the right track for the last week of studying.
Thanks!
