PAT and QR and Reading

I've taken basically the first 4 weeks of my study to review and practice OC, GC, and Bio. I plan to continue to do that, but I have 4 more weeks starting next Monday before I take my test and need to focus more on the other 3 sections. I'm kind of not sure how much time I need to review/practice each section. I'm pretty good at math just need practice getting quick. I've done each type of PAT questions but basically have never spent quality time with it. Any advice on how much time I need to put into the PAT? QR? Advice would be awesome! What did you guys do for those sections?

Personally I've been using Chad's videos for QR and KBB for the PAT since I definitely needed to develop a strong background in both to begin with. If you're comfortable with the material, I'd recommend taking a practice test of each (untimed) to see where you stand. If that goes well, I would just keep doing TIMED practice tests (through Destroyer/Bootcamp/Achiever/whatever) to get into the habit of doing these questions at a quicker pace and so you can develop time management (especially for PAT).

How much time you need to put into each section really depends on how well you do on the practice tests. If you're satisfied with your scores, I would do 2-3, QR and PAT practice tests a week. If you find that you're lacking, obviously just keep doing more problems. Lots of practice never hurts! Just remember not to neglect the sciences and keep reviewing them over the next 4 weeks as well.
