Has anyone done this? Do you recommend it? I plan on applying this cycle so I don't really have a choice on taking it, just looking for advice.

Background on my previous classes.

I'm actually about to start my study schedule to take the dat before the fall which is when I will be taking ochem 2, biochem, and physics. Then thinking either microbiology or a lesser class. The dentists I speak with tell me to take an easier class to go with be heavy load of the first three.

I currently have a strong grasp of ochem 1, if I get an 86+ on the cumulative final I will get an A in the class. I got A's in both gen Chems. I got B's in both biology classes not due to it being hard but because I got bored in those classes so I focused on my anatomy, math and business classes which I got A's in.

Oh and side note-

Besides the study materials of chads, boot camp, destroyer crack the dat and Kaplan blue book which I have. I have also gotten a chemistry and a math tutor over the summer for when I need extra explanations.

Get organic chemistry as a second language if you need help on orgo. I find it very helpful (spme of the problems are identical to dat destroyer so it you dont know how to do it you can use it)

I did this.

studied the crap out of chads videos, printed off the reactions document provided and plowed through each one until i knew it like the back of my hand

OC was my highest score on the DAT

it can be done.

jdenney741,

This is not something we recommend but sometimes it just can't be helped for various reasons. We have seen great results from students who are willing to put in the work. You have hired a tutor and they should be able to help you with Orgo 2. Biology is one of the trickiest sections on the DAT because of the random questions that can be asked. Know the DAT Destroyer biology Cold and with the help of a tutor and dedication you should be able to accomplish your goal. If you have any questions while you are studying post them and we answer them asap.

Just my 2 cents and hope it helps.
