I have less than a week left and my chemistries aren't looking so good, and I won't be able to reschedule.

I feel destroyer is too hard and I'm doing crackthedat with varying scores. Based on experience, is it a good idea to get Bootcamp and use it consistently for the next 6 days (I heard its similar for PAT, but is that the same for genchem and ochem) ?

IMO, it's never a good idea to take the DAT when you are not feeling totally prepared. Destroyer is very challenging but so is the DAT, as it has been stated many times there are many versions of the DAT, some much harder than others. Better to be over prepared than under. Why can't you reschedule your exam?

Destroyer is amazing i know its hard but if it were easy then everybody would ace the DAT. People who have aced the dat give big emphasis on their high TS score to Destroyer let that sink in.

I've been doing destroyer and getting half wrong & right; I'm continuing to do it though. I guess I'm just really worried. And its because I'm traveling and also, there aren't any other test dates in July

Thanks, ya I know. I'm doing well in biology and went over that portion almost twice. But I'm really struggling with the chemistries; I'll continue to do the questions and understand it though

Hey, half wrong/half right in Destroyer on your first go at it isn't bad at all!

Are there any nearby test centers with available dates? I thought about rescheduling mine and was more than willing to drive the 2.5 hours for that extra week or two if I felt it was necessary!

I would do that but transport is an issue. but thanks! I'm about halfway with genchem destroyer and I feel its getting better! I think I'll have time to review through it for a second time too
 
Make sure to do chad's quizzes for general Chem and orgo and then watch his video for the section that you are unsure about. It will take you only a few hours but many people the majority of what was on their exam was on chad's stuff.
