Hey sdn:

Im taking my dat mid may. I know almost every fact about org, and i am expecting about 20-22. I am to the point where i can get a 17 or 18 in bio without studying any more. I forgot everything in gen chem. My plan is to score about a 20 on that section so i would get TS=20.

My question:
What should I do to prepare for gen chem in the next month. I am going to dedicate it to gen chem. My target is 20-21 on that section. I see everyone says: chads vids + destroyer. Any other things I should do to help me, and I need a lot of help in this section.

Bio doesnt seem like it is worth my time since there is so much. I want to make up for it on the gen chem.

thanks!

I came up with study plan suggestions and posted it on my blog. I would also recommend getting chad's videos and watching them through. Take notes and get the basics down. I would then recommend using ACS general Chemistry study guide, and dat destroyer. If you are comfortable solving the problems then you should have nothing to worry about.

Chad's videos + Destroyer (3 times) would be good enough IMO but if you really need help with it, cliff ap chem and lots of practice problems. Chemistry is something you can't memorize but you need to understand. Lean how to cross of wrong answers and not how to choose the right one. You'll learn much quicker.

try Khan academy videos for extra help (they are free and cover wide range of topics...although i'd stick to chad's)

i initially started studying like that, taking one week or month for one subject. i found it to be a mistake.

i would recommend (what i am doing now)do 3-4 hours one subject and 3-4 hours another subject and go on pubmed and read the longest article about a topic you know nothing about every day .

Chad's videos for basics (use Fastplay to get thru it quickly) After watching them, taking notes and doing the quizzes, then go to Destroyer and it will show you any weaknesses and explanations are great

👍

General chemistry gets easier once you know how to set up a problem to solve it. For example, in general, setting up a redox reaction will be very similar every time. The only real difference is whether it's in an acidic or basic solution. Once you know how to set it up, it's pretty simple to solve (just basic math). After you work through a few problems, you should start seeing patterns. This is why it really just helps to practice a lot!

I see that u ran into some trouble with one subject at a time. Why did u change it up?? I would love to know this because that is what I am doing right now.😱

with one subject at a time i would start to forget what i learned in the previous subject! i also have a terrible science background due to a lackluster undergrad career, so i was/am really starting from scratch and had to keep things fresh

How do you Fast Pay Chad's Videos? 😕

DAT Destroyer x3 worked form me!
