confidence is huge going in to this exam. Unfortunately, I am lacking in it. As my days get nearer to D-day (less than 5 days), i feel like i am going to screw this test up completely, and all these weeks of studying will be gone to waste. Anyone know any remedies to boost confidence. (Part of me losing my confidence is from reading horror stories on sdn about people's dat experiences, but i can't seem to stop coming on this site. It's like facebook!. I guess i should know better.

Suggestions would be appreciated!

thanks

I usually do a couple things before the big day, it works for me but may not for you.

1. I try NOT to sleep enough 2 days before...so I know I can for sure fall asleep the day before the big day.

2. Plan out what you are gonna do after the test. Personally, I love to eat so I just try to keep my minds on all the good food I will get once I am done.

3. Don't study or get on SDN the day before test day. If you come across something you dont know on SDN it will pbb make you nervous

4. Pray and hope for the best.

Hope this helps.

yea hehe, im taking mine on the 28th and i know where you are coming from. People who do well give you hope, then the horror bio stories shoot you back down.

The only thing to do, is remind yourself that you are studying hard, covered all the bases recommended, that you can spot the tricks and common errors we make on these exams, and that you cannot know everything there is to know.

Like someone posted earlier, the best thing to do is to stop coming to the website until the exam is done with. It will only keep you worried.

My test is this Tuesday so I can't help but feel the pressure. All I can say is just believe in yourself. Most of the people I've spoken to who have gotten 20+ on their DAT say it was from studying and confidence. Stay strong and keep up the studying. You're almost there!

#3 is great advice I'll be sure to keep that in mind in the days before my test

Confidence is huuuge on the test. Its so easy to psyche yourself out of the right question. I would highly recommend exercise the day before too. . . and lots and lots of praying 🙂 lol

promise yourself that after the DAT...you'll do something to reward yourself. so tell yourself.."if i work extra hard, i will....(fillin your reward)"

for me...its shoes.
so after my DAT, i am going out and buying my fav pair of shoes!!!!!

cant wait...haha

also...listen to claming/inspirational music on the way there...

"stand" by rascal flatts is really good....

something to give you that extra push and confident going inot the test

Staying away from SDN before the testday is a must..This forum is a good resource and help, but it can also damage your state of mind before test day.
