Should I re-take my DATs?

My scores are:

Bio: 21
OChem: 20
GChem: 18
PAT: 19
Reading: 17
Math:17
AA: 19
TS: 19

I appreciate any feedback! Thank you!
 
If you have a good GPA, I wouldn't worry about retaking it. However, if your GPA is on the low side, I would definitely consider retaking it.

Only retake it if you're sure you can do better but no more than two times (hopefully).

source: I'm a serial-retaker and have gotten unfavorable comments during interviews about how I took it 3 times.
edit: actually yes, retake it. 2 17s might be pretty unattractive esp. since 1 is in reading.
