Gen Chem advice

Since starting college, chemistry has been one of my strong suits; however, it's been a year since I took general chemistry and it's tough to remember every little detail (especially for DAT Destroyer). I'm following Ari's 10-week schedule, and it says to do 25 problems each day within 25 minutes. Basically, there are some days where I get done in that time frame but miss quite a few questions, and there are other days where I run out of time but get a majority of the questions correct. I've heard DAT Destroyer is more difficult than the actual DAT, but I'm still feeling quite discouraged. I plan on taking my DAT in late August. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve my time management?

Thanks.

The DAT Destroyer is NOT to be used for timing. Please learn the materials, all the time in the world will not help if you don't know the answer. The DAT Destroyer is a learning tool! The DAT Destroyer is challenging but so is the DAT, don't be fooled..there are many versions of the DAT be prepared.

Feel free to PM if you want some more advice.

Just keep on practicing! Speed might be fairly important on the real day but you've got some time till that happens. I'm hoping to do better this time around haha; speed's never been my problem but maybe accuracy is 😵. Try to do destroyer 2-3 times. I did it twice this time and I honestly think that may help me this time around (if I cry, sweat and shake at the exam center that won't though).
