I am taking my DAT in 5 days and I feel horribly unprepared. I have been doing well in the RC, PAT, QR sections but I am really weak in science. I plan on applying next app cylcle anyway but is it a bad idea to take my test knowing I will probably not do well? I figure its at least a good way to prepare more for next time I take it. This may sound like a dumb question but will all the schools I selected see my DAT scores automatically or only if I apply to those schools?

you should feel confident about taking the exam at least a week before your test date. You don't want to burn yourself out by having to learn new things last minute
