With one week left, what should I study?

Question: I've been scoring well on the verbal (11-12) and BS (12-14) sections, but I can't seem to break 10 is PS. I've also done a lot more PS reviewing than bio or verbal. I know that there is a lot of bio stuff that I don't have memorized and probably should, but I'd be much happier with a B12, P12 than a B14, P10 (although would one of those scores be looked upon more favorably than the other by adcoms? I dunno). Should I risk not reviewing bio anymore to bring up the PS score? I've been reviewing PS for a week now and it's not going up, so if I review for another week I have no guarantee that I'll improve and risk dropping the bio score. I don't know what to do.

You've got good scores....i'd just do a general review and then take it easy the last couple of days. If you are scoring in 33-36 range i dont think adcoms will look more favorably upon someone else who had a better/more even distribution. If someone knows better than me, please correct me. You'll do well.

For a long time I focused exclusively on PS studying because that was my weak area. my score has just barely budged on that section. I was getting kind of frustrated so i started studying bio, my strong section, and my score went up 1-2 points instantly. This made me realize that it may be more profitable for me to focus as much if not more on my strong areas to boost my score up.

look back over your old tests and look for trends. are you consistently blowing questions in one particular PS area. if so, study THAT.
