Holy cow, I am freaking out about the DAT Destroyer. Here is my situation. I THOROUGHLY finished Chad's chem videos while going over KBB's chem section the past two weeks. I retook notes and made an outline of everything (on top of my original notes). I thought I was super confident in the section until I started DAT Destroyer yesterday. Oh god.
I tried putting myself in a "test" situation by doing the first 30 problems of the chemistry section of the DAT DESTROYER in 30 minutes and did horrible. I took thorough notes of the questions I got wrong and then, feeling a little more confident, I did another 30 problems in 30 minutes today and got totally wrecked. No matter how fast I tried to work, it STILL took me longer than 30 minutes (probably 40-45). I feel like time was the biggest issue, along with a few insane problems. I ended up getting a few questions wrong due to dumb mistakes just because I was just pushing through to the max and zipping through the problems in order to meet the 1 question per minute rate.
Does anyone have any input or words of encouragement, based on their experiences? I am really really really REALLLLLLLLLLY freaking out right now. I know the DAT destroyer is suppose to be hard but I feel like the actual DAT will only be a tad bit easier... which means only getting 2-3 questions wrong ( 22-23 chem score) is insane!
Also, everyone has been saying you only need to really know chad's videos... but there are def. quite a bit of questions on the DAT Destroyer that chad doesn't prepare you for. Is this because Chad actually goes over whats ON the DAT while DAT Destroyer just goes above and beyond????
