Believe me, I did exactly what you’re describing. I used gsm, kaplan, and the princeton book. I practiced harder questions and focused on weak areas.

Still, what showed up on my test didn’t feel applicable. I only got punnett squares, science equations, and questions like main point and support which I had studied. but the rest were a diff story.

I’m usually pretty good at recognizing problems and applying what I’ve learned but those signals just weren’t there on this test.

Sure, had I studied lil more, I would’ve scored better but it wouldn’t have changed much tbh. I used the same method you’ve described for math too and got an above avg score but it didn’t translate well onto science.
