2 weeks before the big day

About 2 weeks left before my DAT. At this point, what should a typical study day consist of? I feel like my studying has been all over the place which doesnt seem very efficient. So if someone could provide a successful and efficient method of studying these last two weeks I would really appreciate it.
I am really struggling with Orgo I have been going through destroyer but can't seem to work a lot of the questions without my notes. Also, does it help to memorize the roadmaps? I have been looking over them here and there for help when I do questions just to get myself familiarized. I really get confused with all the nucleophilicy, basicity crap.. I dont even understand Chads CARDIO method.
For bio should I just work on Destroyer and read notes/book?
For gchem I started doing Destroyer for the second time.
PAT is a pain in the butt I have been using CDP but the angles section is outrageous, to say the least. If anyone has any tips/strategies for anything with PAT please do not hesitate to share.
QR- I have just been working through destroyer. It seems like these tests are getting super hard towards the end. Is that representative of the actual DAT? I am usually good with math but if this is the difficulty I am looking at then perhaps a bit more studying will be required.

Please provide and feedback and what I should/shouldn't be doing.. Really need to destroy this DAT. I have been dedicating quite a bit of time these past few weeks and would hate to see it not pay off.

Thank you

My advice is to know those roadmaps. It makes things SO much easier. Plus, I have written the DAT twice already, and you will most likely get simple reaction questions in the orgo section. This is the time when you should be focusing on your weakest sections. Don't give up. Just keep at it.

Don't worry, you still have a good amount of time... just keep practicing the Destroyer.. go through the chem and orgo until you have almost ALL of the problems down (for exmaple if u can master all except 5-10 questions on each section, i'd say you're still pretty damn good..)..... i would do a little bit of bio, chem, and orgo everyday, probably 2 hours each, and then do the 1 hour PAT and 1 hour Math (Total 8 hours) ...... i would do 8 hours a day MINIMUM... then do another 2-4 hours IF YOUD LIKE on the stuff that you're not so great at... That's what i did and it definitely paid off for the sciences... then next day do the same exact thing just switch up the Math with the reading if you'd like... i think if you do this every day you will be set.... good luck.. you'll be good just keep studying and don't worry so much..
