yeah thats a great idea. I will go back to my gen chem book and do those problems. are there books for gen chem like 2nd language for orgo. That book helped me a lot in orgo. Let me know if there are books like that for gen chem for review of certain topics
This might not be a the answer you're looking for, but I'm one of the few people on here (I think) that would recommend learning with a textbook rather than outlines such as Schaum's. I just feel like chemistry outlines take too many liberties with shortcuts. The DAT writers know this, and they often try and bait you into choosing an answer that one might have memorized a shortcut for. And yes, Chad does teach several shortcuts, but he always mentions the caveats associated with them, and that's not something you may easily deduce from a written outline such as Schaum's. But that's just my personal opinion. Anyway, I know you're trying to be as efficient as you can be with your time and money, but if you can't currently score above a 17, I strongly suggest that you try not and overwhelm yourself with a bunch of chemistry outlines and textbooks. You need to set a foundation and work from there. A good general chemistry text book that won't overwhelm you and will keep it basic is the Zumdahl book. I know this is like a broken record on these forms but Chad covers about 95% of the stuff you will see for the gen chem section. Just watch Chad, follow along with the textbook, and you should be in good shape. Your score will go up as you keep working more and more problems. Master Chad's quizzes on coursesaver first, then move on to qvault and do the problems
by section. Do not work them exam by exam. Once you've feel like you've mastered these, move on to bootcamp and try their exams. I know that I'm in the minority by saying this, but Destroyer/achiever are NOT necessities for the chemistries on the DAT. Destroyer chem AND ochem are overkill - by a mile. Remember this is a
standardized test, which means you're better off practicing problems that resemble the difficulty of the exam rather than the difficulty of a hardcore college gen chem course - which is what is reflected on by Destroyer. You are better off with bootcamp as your final resource as it will
most accurately reflect what you will see on test day. Just keep in mind what Chad says (even though it's pretty cheesy, but it's truth) - "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."
Or maybe he said hippo...
