I have been doing below average on QR...anyway to bring up this score in 4 days?

I took the BC FL Exams and I averaged 17 in QR, 21 Bio, 20 Gen Chem, 24 Organic, 19 PAT, and Reading 18. Not sure if I should finish Math Destroyer in the few days I have left or keep reviewing my exams from BC.
 
You have a solid Total Science score. I would continue reviewing those sections, especially Biology because it is entirely based on memorization. I definitely went over Feralis Bio notes twice in the week prior to my DAT exam date.

Assuming that you score at least a 17 on the QR and RC, you won't be cut off with a well-rounded application. Generally, dental schools care more about the science and PAT section.
 
Although QR is not the most important, a bad QR will first make you feel unhappy, besides bringing your AA down.
You can allocate tomorrow for Math destroyer like at least do 2 tests and if possible 3 and try taking bootcamp math tests again individually. It's gonna be an only math day. Nothing else.

That will definitely help.

But yeah I agree with @DOC YANKEM you need to review the science again as we tend to forget them easily.

Best of luck.

Make sure to review these, PM if you want more advice.


Good luck on your DAT

4 days is not a lot of time to significantly improve a section like QR. Are you usually scoring low because of timing issues, or do you not know how to solve certain question types?

I would say my weakest section is algebra. Also, the comparision questions are ones that I do better than the trig and algebra in the QR tests. I dedicated the last few days to just QR.
 
One of the reasons QR is tough for many people is purely the fatique. You obviously have great scores in the other areas, but I say focus on your timing and stamina
