Variations in DAT Practice Test Scores?

My DAT is less than two weeks away (August 9) and I am really stressing out about my practice test scores. I have been studying using the Barron's DAT book, the Cliff's DAT book, the Kaplan MCAT book, the Cliff's AP Bio book, and the Crack the DAT program (PAT, Math, Science, and Reading) for a little over a month now (4-12 hours every day).

I am concerned because there have been big differences between the scores that I got on the practice tests that I took in Barron's and Cliff's and the ones that I got on Crack the DAT. In Barron's I am typically getting 23 PAT, 20 TS, and 19-20 on QR and RC, but on Crack the DAT, I am getting really low scores (usually below 17 in Science and barely above 17 on QR), though my PAT scores on Crack the DAT are still pretty high.

Has anyone else noticed this? I am starting to get really nervous and extremely burnt out. Does anyone have any tips or words of wisdom? How should I maximize my last week of studying?

P.S. - I just graduated with a Chemistry & French major. My overall GPA was 3.68 and my science GPA was 3.61. I really want to get into Midwestern.

Honestly, the only thing you should go by to see how well your doing is Crack the Pat the rest are not so good. If you want to see where you are, then get topscore. Its most similar to the real dat. Ditch the barron and cliff practice test.
