I've been studying 8-10 hours a day for about 5 weeks now with a little over 4 weeks left to go. Scoring about an average of 20 on all my bootcamp science practice tests so far yet I can't stop thinking about the DAT. I don't ever let myself relax or not think about it haha. I come home and just wanna go through flashcards and review O chem reactions. Gonna drive my wife crazy haha. How do you relax?

I'm in the same boat as you are haha. What I do is watch some quick youtube videos or go wash my face from time to time. Another thing I do is drink a lot of water to force myself out of my seat. After that bathroom break, I just do some pullups before walking through my room. Heck I even do lunges as I walk in and out lol. I have to say it got me a bit buff throughout these weeks of hell. Good luck man!

watch the world cup, go on walks, watch TV, hang out with family/friends, watch videos (wimp.com is awesome), become a redditor, study less

Can't study less but those are all good suggestions haha.

I picked up gardening. LOL it was somewhat relevant (would think about photosynthesis and all the plant hormones) to the DAT's, was absolutely fascinating (when you think about the core processes of life...AMAZEBALLS!), and had a relaxing/therapeutic effect. I also did a lot of online shopping (probably not the best idea...) and reread Harry Potter ;P

Watch world cup and workout. lol. I'm running 40min in the morning + training my abs. Good for your circulatory system... Anyway, don't let DAT crush your soul!

Definitely watch the world cup and go lift some weights or go on a run!

Work out. I lost so much gains while studying for my DAT.

Rock climb/bouldering. I can still think about things while I run or lift or w.e
With climbing - I think about the wall and how to get up it, nothing else

^world cup. the ending of that brazil game def got me sidetracked today

 

[jwan14]

I left the library to watch it haha

I could not even concentrate because of that game! Almost had a heart attack lol
