I have 7 days left until D-day. I will put in about 7 hours per day the next 5 days then call it good. My most recent scores are:

Kaplan Final: ADA practice test:
Bio 17: 18
Chem 18: 21
Ochem 19: 28
PAT 20: 20
QR 18: 19
RC 16: 17

I did 3 achiever tests, but my scores were terrible (pretty much 16s across the board). I have been reading cliffs AP Bio, and I have been watching Chad's videos for chem. I will take another kaplan full length on saturday. Any other suggestions? What can i expect? Thanks
 
I would say (haven't taken the DAT yet, but from what I hear) you need a little more PAT practice. Maybe get the 5 test version of CDP. I know it's expensive, but so is applying and not getting in. Kaplan/ADA do not give you accurate estimates as to what you'll score on the actual thing.

As far as the natural science scores (SNS), I feel like those are pretty much luck and it depends on if you get questions you're familiar with (especially Bio). I would say keep doing Chad's quizzes, and work through the destroyer (if you have it).

RC has to come up, from what I hear, this score is really important. The three most important are SNS>PAT>RC from what I've read.

At the end of the day, only you know what you need to make and how confident you feel. I am currently contemplating getting it over with as well, but I have to score a little higher on the DAT to offset my somewhat low GPA (3.3/3.4). Best of luck to you!
 
Practice RC... my score on the Kaplan test was 17RC and went to a 16 on DAT👎

Also I felt the ADA sciences were very close to the real thing, so you should be fine with those. Bio was a little bit harder my version of the actual test.
