So I started studying May 4 and was going to take the DAT June 9. I've been studying everyday since for at least 8 hours if not more. I watched all of Chad's gen chem and orgo as well as read Cliffs and the Kaplan book twice. I did all of Chads practice problems and have been using datQvault.

The week before the exam I took the achiever test and scored 15 on all three of them freaked out and so I postponed the test until the 21st. However, I just took the kaplan practice test online and scored 66%... I have never been good at standardized testing but have a 3.4 cumulative and 3.5 science gpa.

I attempted to order destroyer from ebay was supposed to have it last week so I would have a week and a half of destroyer but ended up getting scammed. I ordered it today from orgoman and should be getting it Friday which would leave part of 3 days to study before my exam. Do I postpone my test again and do destroyer for a week or two or just suck it up and take it? All my friends and family know I am a worrier and always end up doing better on tests and say I should just take it because when it comes down to the real thing I do good (usually). I am in a constant battle with my self right now because I just can't believe I am not prepared after that much studying but my anxiety and nerves are getting the best of me. I have no idea what to do.
 
My advice would be to go ahead and postpone. Give yourself a solid two weeks at least to go through Destroyer; it is unbelievably hard but helpful. Also, take a couple of days off to calm your nerves. If you have no impeding plans, then an extra week or two to study and relax will be good IMO.
