Hey all,

My exam's in roughly a week and I'm unsure if I should postpone or not. I've been studying intensely for roughly a month, less intensely for a few months before, going through Chad's, reading through AP Cliff's, doing CRACK DAT PAT tests, and now starting on Destroyer. For CDP, I'm getting decent scores, roughly in the 20s, and I feel like I'm rapidly improving. On GC and Bio, I'm getting roughly 2/3 or more of the questions right; I've taken a ton of Bio. classes and GC has always come easily to me so I'm not too worried about those sections. But for Orgo., (my weak subject for sure), I'm scoring ~50% on the Destroyer questions. I want to go through all the questions once more before my exam and I'm hoping that will solidify some concepts, but should I be postponing it? I'm still shaky on the reactions, though I'm not sure if that's just because I'm scared about Orgo. in general. How hard is it to get ~19 on the OC section on the DAT? I've never taken the DAT before so any input would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm pretty solid on QR and RC, so basically Orgo's the only thing that's really worrying me.
 
Don't postpone!
I haven't taken the exam yet, though I will be soon! Seems like you're on track. I definately wouldn't postpone. Have you taken any orgo practice tests (if not, you should!) ?
Everyone says destroyer is overkill and just to be used as a learning tool!

Keep your head up, and stay positive!
