Get some rest. Recuperate and motivate. Do lots of practice problems and work hard to identify and diagnose the issues you're having with certain subjects, and make sure you've got all the strict memorization stuff down pat.

As for the nervousness, just focus on the things you're going to do after the test and imagine what a relief it will be. I'm personally a very anxious person and envisioning that every day got me to the point where I couldn't wait to take the test.

Hey, having some sort of mental breakdown/fatigue has been experienced by the majority of us and is normal! Definitely take an exercise break or something away from your study environment. It will help more than studying with a tired brain/morale. I had many more lows while studying for this test than highs. The uneasiness feeling I had in my chest built up so much the closer it got to the test, but on test day I was actually very excited even though I was super nervous. One way you could look at it is that taking the DAT or any test is the best part because all your hard work is essentially almost over. All those painful hours of studying are done. I kept repeating in my head, "5 more hours and I'm free!" Hang in there, you can do it!

The morning of my exam, I was questioning everything I knew about the reproductive system. I ended up getting a few questions pertaining to that on my exam and ended up doing fine in the Bio section. Being nervous is just a part of the process. You'll do great!
