I own Odyssey and it was useful for certain types of students. I being one of them. It is ginormous though and will take a full summer to work through, even having taken the OChem series. Odyssey is overkill for the DAT, but if that's what you need, then it's your call. It is certainly a different style than the Destroyer OChem section and better explanations, but I would not recommend buying it, unless you got a 14 OC score.

Odyssey is just essential in my opinion. It has many great qualities. I mean it helps if you are taking DAT, MCAT or even a class, because it is a very good comprehensive review. It allows you to strengthen your weaknesses by doing all the practice problems that it has to offer on any topic. The solutions offered are simple and easy to follow. I recommend it to anyone who would like to get strengthen their knowledge in Organic chem.

An excellent book and it certainly will teach you all the info you require but it goes to a drop to much depth for the DAT however it definitely is good. If u know the oddesey you will certainly do very well on the DAT.

Just study from your textbook. O chem and Gen chem are the easiest sections on the test, very straightfoward with no out-of-nowhere obscure questions.

When you say the solutions are "simple (and easy to follow)," do you mean they are easy to comprehend, or do you mean that they aren't in depth?
