Taking the DAT....

[ILOVETEETH]

Would you recommend taking the test at 8am or 4pm. These are the time slots when I can take it....What time did you guys take it and how did you feel about the time that you started?

Thanks for your input!

I took mine at noon. I would recommed later in the day...at least for me. It gives you the opportunity to get a good night's sleep have a good meal and review a couple things if you want to. Making it up at 8AM would be too little sleep for me and kind of stressful. I would recommend 4PM.

Good luck.

I took mine at 8am. When I called prometric number to schedule, the operator didn't give me a choice...I heard that when you register online, you have an option. I would've taken the 12 pm time slot. There's too much traffic to get to my location at 8am; also, I'm not really an early bird...but I have to also say that my 8am exam went fine and had no real issues with 8am.

Good luck.

Definitely at 4 p.m. Allegedly it takes your brain 3 hours to "wake up." I work out in the morning and that's what my coworkers told me. Said I'm doing my company a favor by working out in the morning because by the time I get to work, I'm fully alert and my brain is ready to go! And truthfully, even though I wake up at 5 a.m. I am more productive than I am when I sleep in until 7 a.m.

noon is perfect, it isnt early so you aren't tired and grumpy, and it isnt late so you aren't already worn out from getting yourself all worked up about it. worked for me at least, i recommend noon 👍
