Where did you study for the DAT?

Home is the worst because there are just too many distractions... I am much better at the public library (I love the noise because the headphones at the Prometric center don't work very well). I love coffee shops too, especially with the free wifi 🙂

As you can see, people are different. Some are distracted at home, others are distracted when they're not at home.
Personally, I can't work at home at all. I guess I feel too comfortable and don't get down to business. I like the coffee shop because for some reason I feel like people might be watching and I would be slacking off if I don't work. I know it's crazy... no body cares what I am doing there! It works though.

I agree! I study at Starbucks, BORDERS, Panera or Barnes and Noble. I like the sound of coffee maker and the fact that im not studying alone, people are doing their work, too. I tend to feel lonely at home and end up hitting the bed. lol. You might meet people who are on the same boat, too. I met a chemistry teacher, a physics teacher, art teacher or even a dental student and they gave me some tips ( okay i might have gotten distracted here a little ) but I still do more work outside of home.
Good luck!
saame for me. it just got really boring towards the end. try working out at least an hour a day, cuz sitting down for 8 hours a day will show up in your belly at the end.
i tried the library, but it was just a hassle if i got hungry or tired.

home
or i go to the library and wait in the parking lot until it opens in the morning so i can get a quiet study room to myself.
i guess it depends on my mood sometimes when i've studied too much at home, i start slacking off and getting distracted easily (like right now )

Day and Night in my room at home. Really best if noone is home.
Mostly at home. Can't study on my bed or on the couch, otherwise I get sleepy and fall asleep. I did most of my studying at my breakfast table at home, so if I got hungry or thirsty.. the fridge was just a walk away. Plus studying next to the windows helps keep me awake b/c of the sunlight = )
nearby coffee shop or university library during the day, reviewed stuff at home at night. Spent few hours before going to bed writing orgo rxns on bathroom mirror w/ dry-erase pen, did practice exams at public library (to simulate Prometric environ).
