How can I maximize the last 2 weeks before my test?


I plan on doing all of destroyer (within 5 days). After I have 9 practice tests. Then day off. Then DAT Day.


Is it best to spread out the practice tests?

FYI, I have about 2 more practice tests being used prior.


Post any other tips too!

this is my plan hopefully it'll result in a good score. I have to test on the 25th. a week after yours I believe.

I have 8 CDP, CDM, CDR, and math destroyer practices left.

Next 8 days. 1 of each. I been doing all the crack stuff consecutively to work my brain like on test day. there's a maybe a minute or two to clean the sheet kaplan gave me.

then on the 16th. I will take 1 full length test starting @ the same time I'm scheduled. I have 9 full tests left. 3 from kaplan, 3 top score and 3 achiever.

the other 8 hours of my studying is my ochem flash cards of what will this reagent do, flash card of trig identities, my destroyer answers sheets/notes and skim through campbells, kaplan subject test and do those extra angles, hole punch and cube counting. Like just 5 minutes of each.

hardest part for me the last few days. Is forcing myself to go to bed at the latest 11pm. And walking away for a break other than bathroom and to nuke something. I have to fight the urge of feeling that I'm wasting valuable time and should be sitting and reading.

Where did you get your Kaplan tests?

I paid for the kaplan course. i probably should have said kaplan online tests.

Is it a smart idea to take so many practice tests in a row?

that's what i was wondering. on the one hand, you build up experience and stamina when taking the test, so you know exactly what to expect...it also helps you with timing...but at the same time, what if taking all those tests in a row will burn you out? i dunno. maybe space it out some? like try going 3 days with tests everyday, then try it with breaks and see which one feels better...but you can only do that if you have time to spare.

I spent my last week watching TV. I was just so burnt out from studying that I didn't want to do it anymore. I don't suggest you do this but definitely pace yourself and don't try to go all out the when it gets close. Just relax and take it easy, if you studied properly it should all stick and definitely use that last day to watch a movie and not study at all.

i agree with you, over-studying is not the way to go. Before my exam, I'd super chill, maybe take a bunch of PAT tests for fun. Those aren't that stressful, more like a game

The last two weeks, I would recommend taking a practice exam every other day. Most importantly use the time to REVIEW, REVIEW and more REVIEW. Use all of your condensed notes to ensure that you really KNOW what you already know. If that makes sense. Don't waste time trying to learn things that you haven't been able to learn up until now.

GOOD LUCK!
