SO, here, what's listed on the ADA website for the Ochem section. Carbs, proteins etc.. are not listed, however, I've seen a ton of questions on the practice exams... do I need to worry about these types have questions? Have you seen them come up on your exam? Please let me know!!! Thanks!

good eye and good question

yes...know about them. They will show their ugly face but they are not tricky if you had biochem
 
Where did you get this list of topics? And do they have ones for all the science sections? I have been looking for dat topics on their website and I can't seem to find it!!!!!

I didn't see any of them. I took the test Tuesday, so maybe it was just my version though. The OChem section is by far the easiest section on the whole exam. Hope that helps.
