The purpose of this blog is to write about my preparation for dental school and some thoughts on the dental world in general. Undoubtedly, some random, completely unrelated things will be written here, but dentistry will always be the focus.

Recap on the Week

As part of the DAT prep course, we had no class this week. I guess the idea is that a week off allows us to catch up with all of the material. This may very well be true, but a part of me believes it might be because the prep course company can market the course as a 7-week program as opposed to a 6-week program. For whatever reason they did it, I think it was a great idea.

I took as much advantage of this week as possible to go over all the material I have gone through these past 6 weeks: holy shit there is a lot. It is almost unfathomable to think that I have crammed only half of the material in my head and that another half is in the queue. And it can be frustrating, too. Many times, I find myself forgetting or confusing important details. Remedying these instances can be incredibly time consuming processes, and time is simply a luxury I do not have.

In any event, I am happy to announce I am more than half way through the material, which means I am right on schedule. Sure, it meant I was sleeping about 5 and a half hours a night, but I sleep better knowing I can work on something new the next day.

This week will be really important as I now have less than 4 weeks before the exam. If I am able to get through all the material by the end of this week, I figure the 3 remaining weeks will be ample review time. I hope I am able to do it.
