Do I appear to be ready?

Ok, so I have been taking practice tests and studying for about 2 1/2 full months now for like 10-12 hours per day. I feel like I'm somewhat prepared, but I know I'll never feel COMPLETELY ready. I took Topscore practice tests and scored in the following score ranges:

Topscore:
Bio: 20-24
GChem: 22-28
Ochem: 19-21
Don't do the PAT
RC: did one and got 19
QR: 20-21

CDP tests:

Keyholes: avg about 13-14
TFE: avg about 13-14
Angles: 8-10
Hole Punching: 13 - but I used actual grids when I do it b/c it's so hard
Cubes: 12-13
Pattern Folding: 7-10 - this section rapes me every time b/c of time left when I get there (any strategies for this would be GREATLY appreciated)

I am worried about Ochem, QR, and PAT the most. And Bio is random, but there's really nothing I can do about it but work on my weak areas. Went through the Destroyer Bio and I get about ~85%ish right.

My test is next Tuesday so if anyone would advise anything, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, any resources from QR would be really helpful, I am so worried about running out of time. With word problems, is it quicker just to plug the answers in instead of going through the whole process on the real DAT?
 
You will probably murder all the sciences. I got 21 on the first 2 topscore RCs and ended up with 25 on the real deal. I'd say lightly review the sciences everyday to keep it fresh in your head while doing more PAT, QR and RC practice.
 
Cool man...thanks so much. I dream about scores like yours' lol! I would pass out if I got that report for sure. Best wishes and much luck to you!
 
Hey, you can totally beat my scores. My topscore science scores are lower than yours on all sections. Look for my breakdown if you want. Good luck to you too.
