Nice scores. Congrats on your determination - it is definitely motivating. I am probably not going to retake my exam, but I wanted your honest opinion (to the OP tsined): do you feel that Destroyer is necessary to score 25+ on both OC and GC? I can honestly tell you I knew Kaplan BB's OC section COLD and I wasn't able to pull off a really high score. My vote would be yes, since I can only speak for my experience (only used Kaplan BB). What do you think? (sorry to swagger jack your thread lol).

I felt destroyer is really helpful. It ll prepare you on how to tackle questions. The road maps for Ochem are awesome and questions too. Gchem more challenging but very helpful. Even Bio and Math is good. Do these question slowly and understand...dont just look at question and then explanation. Do them with all your best then see why you got wrong. Look more into details if explanation on destroyer is vague to you. I really think that doing a lot of question, you will get better on DAT. Kaplan is good too but not sufficient.

I agree. For Ochem, use destroyer, it is very efficient at getting you points. For Gchem, it's not necessary, but it is practice which is always welcome. Kaplan is lacking in Ochem. It has reactions...and that's about it, so you will need to supplement.

Thanks....I came to that conclusion while looking at my score report after the test. Couldn't tell you what I got wrong though lol....
