Biology has to be my weakest section and my practice scores on Qvault Bio are really low. I plan on taking the DAT end of April.

what I have done so far is made my own biology notes while reading through Cliffs/Feralis notes, I go over these notes pretty often. I feel like my foundation is good, but I still forget those details. What do you recommend I do?

I plan on reading Feralis notes over again in the sections I am weak on Qvault bio and repeating that often (hopefully more repetition will help).
 
Qvault bio was essential in my opinion and was on par with the difficulty of the real DAT. I made a gigantic sheet of notes on topics I struggled with after getting questions wrong. Writing your own notes on topics you can put into your own words and reading those notes every day until the topic is second nature really worked for me personally. I would compile content from multiple sources until I had a gigantic bio fact sheet only on things I was not 100% sure on.
 
there's nothing much you can do for bio besides practicing over and over again. I used qvault too and none of the questions I got wrong on qvault appeared on my test (YMMV obviously). I'd say just review feralis over and over again. I must have gone through the entire thing 12 or so times by my test.
 
Checkout Ty Jacobs notes. Between Feralis, Ty Jacobs notes, and AP biology, you should cover your bases for most of what shows up on the DAT bio. The remaining stuff is info that even if you studied for double the time you might not cover
