So I have my DAT exam Wednesday and I have been cracking down on everything for a good 8-9 hours for the past 2 weeks. I was studying today and I started to make stupid mistakes on my practice exams and I find that I'm draining myself out. So what should I do tomorrow? Study more or take a break and relax?

What did you guys do the night before the big exam??

Great question. Looking forward to hearing the responses.

Relax, you're gonna end up tiring yourself out for Wednesday if you don't take at least a day to unwind.

I spent the entire day laying on the couch watching South Park!
Just relax at home or chill with your friends and do something fun (Nothing that's physically too demanding)! Studying 24 hours before your exam wouldn't do much for you. You've done enough.
Try to go to bed early and get a good night sleep.
Good Luck👍👍

I cant lie - I crammed!

I really want to relax but I always feel like I'm missing or forgetting something. I don't know, either cramming more information or lying on the couch... I like the latter but I don't think I can get my mind to stop and chill for a bit.

I know where you are coming from. People will tell you what is traditionally the case for all pre-exam nights (rest, do something else, etc.). Ultimately, do what YOU feel is best. I was in med school, so cramming the night before a test was what came natural to me because I had been doing it for so long. Feeling "drained" because I studied the night before my test was nonsense -- if you can't feel up and alert for the real DAT, you shouldn't be taking it. But then again, that was what made ME feel comfortable. Work up until that day, and if you feel you can kick back and relax, go for it.

I watched nailin' paylin, the movie had a surprisingly good plot.

Make sure you get a good night sleep but don't take the day off or anything like that. Keep studying as hard as you can its crunch time.

I actually played basketball for an hour and a half the night before so I would be tired and sleep well. My test was a 8:00 appointment so I got up a 6:15 and went for a 15 minute jog to wake up so I would be alert instead of groggy. For me it worked great.
