Concern about CHAD's ORGO videos

Ok so currently I am reviewing CHAD's organic videos and its taking me a lot longer than I would have liked, but my question is how sufficient are CHADS videos for the material. I had a bad organic professor for both org 1 and 2 and it’s been about 2 years since I have taken the course needless to say I have to relearn a lot of it. But what I’m asking is how encompassing are CHADS videos does he leave a lot of gapping holes that could be tested on or do you guys think a combination of chads and dat destroyer is enough to score very high on these sections?

Most posts praise the fellow. He has certainly helped me in my orgo class.

So in general, watch the videos and get destroyer to work out the problems.

chad got me a 23 on GC and a 20 on ochem.
i never payed attention in my genchem/ochem lecture in undergrad so i relied only on chad and dat destroyer.
sure my scores could be better but you get the point

Molar do you think the questions that you missed was due to the fact that CHAD didnt cover that info that you missed or is it because of human error or simply forgot the answer

i think it was just bc the questions were worded really weirdly especially for orgo & i was baffled...../didnt understand wth it was even asking me....it didnt have to do with the content being presented, more just i didnt understand what i was even being asked haha

i had hardly ANYYYYYY mechanisms in my orgo section from what i rmbr it was more of like ...ranking aromaticity/acidity/bascitiy/which is more reactive/theory type stuff
i may have had like ONE actual reaction .....wish i had more bc i spent so much time memorizing them. oh welll

Ya thats what i have been doing memorizing the mechanisms, thanks for the word of advice... Did u say you use destroyer? if so did you go over it religiously or just a few times?

yea i did DAT destroyer for ochem/gen chem religiously, i made sure i knew every single problem, literally. I made flash cards for questions i got wrong and then i memorized how to do the problem correctly. I memorized every road map and every rxn on the roadmap, I guess the actual DATs orgo section just stumped me regardless, i'll be taking it again tho so we'll see how i do my 2nd time around!
goodluck studying, dont worry too much. just be confident that chad & dat destroyer will get you a competitive score so just focus on doing your best with that
