Hi everyone 🙂
okay so my DAT is in 3 days and its the third time I'm taking it!!!(my scores from previous attempts are both 17) I literally studied for 3 month, 8 hours a day. I have taken the three topscore test and got AA of 19,20,20.My CDP scores average around 21. I have done all the qvault tests. I have went over dat destroyer 2010 one time and like 3 times for dat destroyer 2012. so I know the destroyer by heart. also went over the math destroyer and cliff notes and bangity notes once. I'm really hoping that I do good this time, or else I will be truely devastated!!! I really reallyyyyyyyy studied hard!!! at this point i just wanted to see if anyone has any advice for me AND I'm freakinggg outtt like crazy to the point that sometimes its even hard to breath, this is basically my last attempt so I'm reallyyyyyyyy anxious and I feell like this anxiety is going to ruin everything!

Take a deep breath. Think of the test as a challenge, and you can succeed. It is you against a bunch of multiple choice ques. You are not alone. Everyone goes through normal test day anxiety. Bring a lunch with you for ur 10 minute break since it takes 5 minutes to check in and out. I only took it once, but I drank vegan sport energy powder in my water during the break and I think it gave me a boost of energy. I mean I wasn't tired when it came to QR. Just give it your best shot, and you will be fine!

I honestly think some of the best advice I can give you, especially if you are freaking out, is to STAY OFF SDN. Reading what everyone says about difficulty, scores, etc can be seriously daunting. I read a zillion breakdowns right before my test and it sort of just gave me hypertension. 😉 Take a break from it until after your test! 🙂

You prepared well and worked hard, so just be confident. Don't let anxiety to ruin you but if you get it, use as good kick in. Do passive reviews and see if you are missing any topics. Best luck.

You will do great. Hardwork always pays off at the end 🙂
Just remember not to freak out during the test. During the tutorial, take deep breaths and tell yourself that its just an exam and you are well prepared.
If you come across a difficult question, just choose thebest answer and make sure you MARK it so that you can come back and work on it again. This way, you are not skipping any questions incase you run out of time at the end....

Best of luck to you!!!!

Best of luck! All your hard work should pay off! At least you've done it a couple of times before so you're no stranger to the routine and the timing etc.
