Just wondering everyones opinion on the Gen. Chem on the Bootcamp compared to your actual DAT. I know the test is different for everyone, but by completely understand/knowing all Gen. Chem questions on test 1-5, is this sufficient for the real DAT?

I don't think anyone can tell you what is "sufficient" for the DAT because there is so much information that is fair game. I am working through all 10 DAT Bootcamp exams making sure to read and do my best to understand all solutions. Additionally, I am working through all of DAT Destroyer. As @orgoman22 says, "Think 30." I think that the best way to prepare for this beast is to work and understand as many problems and concepts as possible.
 
Being able to do all the questions from tests 1-5 correctly is a good start, but Bootcamp is meant to test your knowledge and expose areas of weakness - it's not a substitute for content review. You should be doing that first and taking thorough notes, then taking Bootcamp tests to measure your progress and preparation.

Absolutely Pearl E. White, you are on the right track....just keep thinking "30"..

BTW, when are you taking the DAT?

Couldn't agree more.
