Someone please calm me down

You will be fine! If you've gotten to the point where you just want to take it and be done, as opposed to feeling like you don't know anything, you are ready. Practice tests are harder than the real thing, and when you finish, you'll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders

Relax! Do what you can and know that you gave it your best effort, and that you are going to own it.

(This is what I'm telling myself when I take my DAT in 18 days.. but who's counting right? lol.)

^Yup! And if you can hear your heart beating loudly during the entire test through the noise-canceling headphones, that's normal so don't worry haha

I know how you feel, 15 days until my test! I'll give you advice that I will most likely not follow in my final study days, and that is to relax, stay calm, and remember all the hard work work and effort you put into this exam. Think of the glory! After 5 hours, you're done!

Best of luck to you, and we look forward to hearing how everything goes!

I remember how nervous I was on my test day and during the test.
Remaining calm for the test is very critical! breathe!!! you will be fine.
good luck!

Real DAT was easy and when you start taking, you forget that this is the real thing. It's just going to feel like a practice test.

Thanks, guys 🙂 I'm ready for it to be done. My biggest fear is that I'll over-complicate everything.
I'll try to stay calm and get through it, though! I guess if all else fails, at least I'll be a free woman once it's over 🙄

I just finished mine about a half hour ago and feel so good. Just do some deep breathing during the tutorial at the beginning. Once you start you'll forget it's the real deal and won't be nervous. Good Luck!

But I'm still nervous!
