Last few days before test - focus on review or new info?

I took my last practice test today, so this weekend is all a crapload of review that I have set up, followed by a day off Monday and test Tuesday...

Should I focus more on the review though? or trying to understand and figure out some questions that I had trouble with on the practice tests? ..or like I have a bunch of random DETAILED Bio GC and OC facts and concepts from Qvault that I made into a Word file - so should I really delve deeply into those or focus more on what I know and making sure I know it? I feel like some of the Qvault concepts and facts may be out of DAT scope, but not sure

Review and analysis are probably better at this stage. The depth of the DAT isn't overwhelming anyway. Make sure you can do everything you're supposed to. That's not to say that you'll get only common questions. There might be a few strange ones...just ignore those and do well on the majority of the test.

Definitely analyze mistakes. It helps to go through your mistakes to remember them.

yeah i have all the wrong ones and even iffy ones saved on qvault that i want to go through...and made screenshots of the ones from topscore...im just afraid of getting something a little different that i havent seen (mostly bc how much random stuff i saw on qvault)...especially being that you can only get soo few wrong on each section...freaking out with the overwhelming amount of review i have this weekend

Like ushaseos said, now is the time to review. I don't know if you purchased Chad's videos, but if you did, I would STRONGLY recommend going back through the GC and OC quizzes. It's amazing how something you were rock solid on a month and a half ago can become hazy after studying so much other material. One more weekend and you get to experience the sweet taste of success. Good luck, stay sane, and have confidence in the fact that you know way more than you think you do.
