Hi

My test is in a month. This will be a retake. I've gone through Destroyer 2x for OC and GC so far, and I feel ready for OC and GC. I took some of the individual BC tests and scored in the low to mid 20s and with a month ago, I'll go through Destroyer once more to make sure I get in the 20s.

However....I ignored biology. With a month left, do you recommend I go through my notes made from Cliffs and Feralis and do the qvault and BC tests? Or, should I skip the qvault and do the destroyer problems instead?

I work full time so I get about 3 hours to study each night and 1 hour goes to biology so I want to do my best in covering as much material. I actually got a 23 the first time for biology but I think I got lucky. I skimmed the notes an hour prior to the test and the "small facts" I skimmed actually showed up on the test!

I see alot of people recommend Destroyer/Bootcamp/Notes for Biology but if doing qvault/Bootcamp/Notes will be more effective in covering as much high yield questions as possible, I'd rather go that route.
 
I was really stressed about bio since I didn't take many bio classes in undergrad, so I read through cliff's and Feralis' notes and summarized each chapter. Then about 3 weeks before my exam I began destroyer, which stressed me out, but I would do 40-80 questions a day and take detailed review notes on questions I missed and made sure to go back to questions I guessed on (correctly). To find answers beyond what the destroyer key gave me, I'd go to my notes, cliffs, and feralis. This took about 3 hours of my day each day, but it helped me get a good score. I feel like I only missed two questions on the actual exam, but got a 23 in Bio.

P.S. I also watched Crash course Bio videos
 
I don't think it will matter which method you choose, as long as you're primarily focusing on your notes. In the end your core knowledge is what will get you a high score (and it worked well enough for you the first time).
 
I didn't score amazing like many people here in the biology section but did manage to get a 24 and must recommend doing destroyer. Questions I would have never guessed being a question showed up on my DAT and the only reason I knew it was because of destroyer. Destroyer with Bootcamp and Feralis Notes or Cliffs and you will be set. Whatever you decide, good luck! You will do great!
