Best Advice for Quick Score Increase in Quantitative??

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some advice from you all. I have been scoring around a 19AA, with a 14-15 in QR consistently over the many tests I have taken (Kaplan, Topscore, etc). I am taking the DAT on Wednesday, and was wondering what your advice would be on increasing my score by a couple of points as soon as possible.

Is there anyone out there that has been in my situation? If so, what did you study hard to get a noticeable increase?

I have no problems with the basic math like algebra, adding/subtracting/mult/dividing fractions, exponents, etc-- it seems that my main problem is in the geometry and the trig... but i just don't know if there is anything I can to do fix it in the amount of time that I have.

what do you think?

have you tried CDP or CDM yet?

lol... I have DAT brain-- I meant to say that I am scoring a 14-15 on QR, not PAT! Sheesh, I'd be freaking out even more if I was scoring that low on PAT.

Answer all the easy and straightforward questions, skip the rest. By this time you should have at least a 16-17. Now go back and finish the ones you skip, jack that up to 20.

I suggest you go through the math concepts in Kaplan's book and go through destroyer. I didn't have time to study for QR in my first DATs, only did about 40 problems in destroyer and went into the DATs. Got a 17 using the above strategy. This time around I'm much more prepared and I found Kaplan's math section combined with destroyer questions to be very helpful.
