One day left to study. Should I focus all my attention on QR or refine my other sections?

So I am taking my DAT this week and have about a day of full studying left. I am happy with my bootcamp scores in all sections except QR which is the section I have prepared the least for.

My Bootcamps Scores thus far are as follow:

Test 1: Bio-21, GC-20, OC-21, PAT-17, RC-17, QR-18
Test 2: Bio-22, GC-21, OC-24, PAT-18, RC-18, QR-17
Test 3: Bio-20, GC 21, OC-20, PAT-18, RC-17, QR-17
Test 4: Bio-19, GC-21, OC-18, PAT-21, RC-19, QR-17
Test: 5: Bio-24, GC-18, OC-22, PAT-19, RC-21, QR-19
Test 6: Bio-22, GC-20, OC-23, PAT-19, RC- 20, QR-17
Test 7: Bio-22, GC-24, OC-20

My science section averages are all around 21-22. While my PAT and RC scores have gone up quite a bit from where they were initially, as I seemed to have found working strategies to taking on both sections. My QR section is the only area that I feel truly week on and hasn't improved as much as my RC and PAT and was never as high as my sciences.

Should I use my last moments of study time to refine my science scores and conquer any remaining weaknesses in the hope that I can score extremely high in them? Or should I attempt to a last minute cram to hopefully boost that QR score, which is given the least weight as a section by Adcoms, despite still counting towards the AA?

If you are scoring a 17-18 in QR you should be set. I feel like you can honestly take it easy tomorrow your practice scores look really good. I'd wager you get at least a 22 or 23 with those scores honestly.
