so I'm taking my DAT this Friday and i'm kinda freaking out. i've been through Destroyer 3-4 times and taken the Bootcamp exams, but i'm still really nervous. anyone have any last minute advice/suggestions of what I should be doing the next couple days?

any and all advice is definitely appreciated 🙂

I'm taking the DAT in a week haha o.o. Well, if you've done well on your practice exams, worked hard and understand what you need to do then I suggest you just review lightly and rest up so you feel 100%!

 

[narwhaldds]

thank you! good luck on your DAT!

If you've been through the Destroyer 3-4 times, did well on your practice exams, & understood the material, I believe you are well prepared & good to go. 🙂 Walk in there & kick some DAT booty!!!

thanks everyone! i'm most worried about the Bio section. I'm able to answer the ones on the 2007 and 2009 exams, but I just worry that I wouldn't be able to answer the ones I get on test day. any last minute tips to strengthen bio in these last couple days?

just review your notes and look at feralis notes again don't go too crazy.

I take my DAT this Saturday so I know exactly how you are feeling! I will be applying to dental school this summer so I decided that I wanted to take my DAT early during winter break. I have been studying really hard all break but I was very burnt out this week so I have been taking it easy and doing light review to make sure that I will be ready to go on test day! Just remember, you know more than you think you do and we both can conquer the DAT!

 

[narwhaldds]

thank you! oh wow good luck to you too 🙂 you're gonna do great!

 

[LuckBloodandSweat]

WOOOT support for all us winter DAT takers 😀

 

[Baileyy259]

I think we have all gathered on this thread! Mine is the 25th **NERVOUS**

 

[LuckBloodandSweat]

21st! And cool. We can try to keep each other sane for the time being.

Review Feralis notes lightly, stay on top of the PAT review and just do some very light review of weak spots in the other sections. If you've been through Destroyer 3-4 times and all of Bootcamp I think you're ready to destory this test. Good luck and stay calm!

 

[narwhaldds]

thank you! tomorrow's the big day 😀 good luck to everyone else taking it soon!

 

[dentista11]

Good luck!! 90% of success is confidence. You've got this!

If u can answer the 09 questions you should be okay for bio, the 09 version is supposedly the most similar in difficulty , honestly I didn't find the bio section that bad 🙂 you'll do great !

What are you guys doing a couple of days leading up to your exam?
I've decided to take a break from Destroyer (went through it several times). I'm going over my Chads notes and going back to his quizzes and memorizing QR equations. I've also review my own bio notes I wrote out. Mine is on the 20th!!

 

[LuckBloodandSweat]

I'm just 1 day after you. And I made a mistake not finishing destroyer earlier. I need to finish it! I'm fine with QR, the only section I feel like can't do anything to mess with me but who knows. I wrote out a ton of notes for all the sciences and will definitely be going over those too. I'm going to also do the 07 and 09 ADA exams to get used to exam timing again and speed up my brain for RC. I'll definitely try to redo some of Chad's quizzes also.

Try getting through Destroyer at least once! But I recommend going back to your notes and chads quizzes! I heard Destroyers are an overkill to the actual, but it's good practice! It's going to be Chads + bootcamp (going over missed questions/PAT) for me until game day. If I have time, I might cram Destroyers Bio (but lets see lol). Goodluck!!! I'll let you know how mine goes!!

 

[akakakakak]

yay! How did you do???

 

[LuckBloodandSweat]

Oh I will get through destroyer. It may take over 150 problems a day but I will get there. I'm determined. If the destroyer math is overkill then I'm afraid I will be too arrogant when it comes to math lmao.

I dont think so! Destroyer math was simple (and im not good at math so that says a lot, good review for probability/trig problems). I did the Math destroyer 1-7 and that was HARD AS S*** LOL

 

[amihs222]

Youre so lucky that your good at math, cause I'm 99% sure it will be lowest section lol

 

[LuckBloodandSweat]

Oh don't worry I'm absolutely atrocious at PAT... Be lucky to get an 18 on that. I mean I like math so I don't think i'd have trouble with what they can do.
