DAT in 2 weeks, what should I focus on?

My DAT is in 2 weeks and idk what I should be focusing on at this point. Should I spend most of my time working on my weak areas or still review everything? What did you guys do in the last 2 weeks?

Guys FINALLY got 500+ 😭😭

I’ve been stuck around the 440–480 range on most of my booster practice tests and finally got a 510 AA on Test 10 😭 feels so good to finally see some improvement lol. I’m testing in about 3 weeks and not really sure what I should be focusing on from here. Also for anyone who took the DAT recently, how close were your booster scores to the real thing? Any advice would be appreciated

One month left.. what would you guys do?

I've got about a month until my DAT, and these are my Booster scores so far. I'm aiming to improve as much as I can before test day. If you were in my shoes, what would you focus on during this last month? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Can I still score 500+ AA if one section isn't improving?

I'm aiming for a 500+ AA, but my RC just doesn't seem to be improving. Everything else has been getting better, but RC has been stuck for the last few weeks. Did anyone here still score 500+ AA even with one weak section? Just wondering if it's still possible and looking for any advice.

How did you review reactions?

Right now I'm just going through booster's reaction qbanks and the cheat sheets to review. Is that pretty much what you guys did too, or is there a better way to review reactions?

When should I start taking full lengths?

I'm feeling pretty good about my content now besides a few topics. Should I start taking full lengths now, or reviewing those topics first? Also, how often were you guys taking FLs?

Does anyone else feel like Bio never ends?

Every time I go over Bio, I feel like I find something new I don't know lol. For those who've taken the DAT, did Bio feel mostly high yield, or was it pretty random? Do you actually need to know everything, or is focusing on the high yield stuff enough?

RC Score Plateau

My RC scores have been stuck around 430–450 for the last few practice tests, and I just can't seem to get past 450. Has anyone been in the same situation? What helped you finally break through?

QR easier than Bootcamp?

Just wondering if anyone else felt like the real DAT QR was easier than Bootcamp, or if it was pretty much the same. What was your experience?

Anyone else getting completely different scores on Bootcamp?

I feel like every Bootcamp practice test is a completely different experience. I'll do well on one, then the next one makes me feel like I forgot everything lol. It's honestly been pretty frustrating. Did anyone else go through this, and did your scores eventually become more consistent?

Best way to review practice tests?

I've been taking practice tests, but I feel like I could be getting more out of them. Right now I just review the questions I got wrong, but I still end up making the same mistakes. How do you guys review your wrong answers so they actually stick? What's the best way to review practice tests?

Really struggling with Math

I've been trying to improve my QR score, but it's just not clicking. I either forget the formulas, get stuck setting up the questions, or spend way too much time trying to figure them out. Did anyone else struggle with this? What helped?

Should I switch to search and destroy or stick with my current strategy?

I've been reading the questions first and then reading the whole passage while answering them, but my RC scores have been pretty much stuck and aren't where I want them to be. I still have a decent amount of time before my DAT, so I'm wondering if I should try Search and Destroy or another strategy, or just stick with what I'm doing and keep practicing. Did anyone switch strategies and see their scores improve?
