Advice: Week before DAT, low TopScore

I'm currently listed to take my DAT on the 18th, one week from now. I have gone through all of DAT Destroyer's Bio, GC, and OC, as well as Math Destroyer. Using Cliffs and Princeton's DAT Review for Bio, and Chads for GC and OC. For some reason it just isn't seeming to sink in and I'm contemplating pushing the date back. I have taken two Achiever tests, getting 15-17's on all of the sections with an AA of 15 on both. Although discouraging, I knew this was harder than the real deal so I just kept trucking. Just finished my first TopScore test and got pretty terrible scores as well, listed below. I was going to use this as my way to know what subjects to focus on the most during the last week but now just thinking I should push back another week or so? Or is there anything I can do to make it jump a few points in all sections lol. Up for about anything at this point. Was planning on cramming as much of the Destroyer and Math Destroyer into the next 3-4 days but not sure if that would be a waste of time, or if I should just focus on studying the material I am uncomfortable with.

Bio: 17
GC: 17
OC: 17
TS: 17
PAT: 21
RC: 21
QR: 16
AA: 17

Any help is appreciated!

Was pretty concerned with my top score exams too. Got a 19 AA and 18AA. GC was pretty low like yours. Usually people score higher(got 20AA,21sci)). Surprised you wasted time on achiever rather than useful sources like bootcamp and qvualt. I would personally move the exam back just to go through those two resources and feralis(sp?) biology notes.

Cramming usually does not work. You are probably weak on certain concepts, but do notnhave enougb time to revisit them because you are cramming.
