Doing the Destroyers TIMED

[hdkyu10]

Hello! After going through the DAT destroyers once, is it worth doing them timed? I've been reading that the destroyers are pretty tough and are meant to help you learn. This naturally makes me think that instead of trying to re-do them with a time constraint, I should go through them and make flash cards or something. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Eh, eventually you would have some answers memorized so forget about time constraints. Focus on making flash cards and learning as much material as you can.

Any problem you miss, add it to a flashcard. Review it every other day AT LEAST. That's what I did and I did quite well on test day.

Not worth it. Destroyer is a learning tool, not practice exam material.

The DAT Destroyer is not intended for timing.

If you know the materials you will have enough time, if you are ill prepared all the time in the world will not help you.

From years of experience the sections that students struggle with on time is the QR and Reading. If prepared you will have enough time in the Science Sections.

Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

Wishing you the best..Nancy
