Help me with my last few workouts/meet strategy

I'm ~2.5 weeks out from a PL meet. I feel I may have undershot/overshot some of my lifts.

Last two squat days were 1 x 5 @ 575 (no suit), then 1 x 3 @ 600 (suit). 600 was heavy, but not that hard, all were at or below parallel with very good speed out of the hole, might've had 1 or 2 more but the local "expert" said to quit. I have 2 more squats.

Last two bench days were 1 x 4 @ 375, then 1 x 3 @ 385 (both with no shirt). My plan is to hit 405 with a shirt next. I have 3 more benches.

Last 2 deadlifts were 1 x 3 @ 505, then 1 x 3 @ 525, both with a suit. 525 was mega-hard, didn't think it was going to come up, it was all I could do to get 3, no way to get more than 3. I have 1 more deadlift.

What do you guys think I should try next? How about attempts in the meet? Thanks.

1-dawg, thanks for the advice. What's your thinking on attempting an amount in the meet that you haven't tried before in training?
 
Meets are for pr's. Why go into the meet and try something you've already done before? I always hit an easy opener, then go for a 5lb pr, except for the dl, there;s a little strategy there because it involves your total.
