On the first achiever test, they asked us to identify the name of a particular type of reaction (i think it was # 98 in orgo and the answer was claisen). For those of you that have taken the DAT, have you ever been asked for specific names of reactions???

bump, wondering the same thing.

anyone know? my test is on saturday and i wouldn't want to waste time memorizing names if we don't need to..

also, has anyone come across questions about separation methods or glassware?

I have seen seperation questions on practice test... its not that hard though.... Just know what when a acid is extracted with a base, it will go into the aqueous layer, and vice versa.

klpennin, do you mind explaning that? i didn't get it exactly and looked it up but perhaps you could simplify what you know? :o

if you have the destroyer i think the answer to orgo #151 explains it pretty well

assuming yes :(

i am thinking of ordering destroyer...

i have about a month till my DATs

It would be great if these questions can be answered.

1. Should you purchase one if you only have like 2-3 weeks to work on the book?

2. Do the questions on the real DAT reflect whats on destroyer?

i haven't actually taken it yet but i've only had my destroyer for 2 weeks and i'm already going through it for the second time..its definitely something you need to have. and based on all the other posts i have read, it really does help with questions on the DAT.

but for those of you who have taken the test already..can you answer the questions above? names, methods, glassware??
