It's about the same as actual.

Try to understand the mechanisms instead of just memorizing them. It worked for me.

I agree.

I don't understand how you could do all the destroyer problems and get a 15 on ochem. Did you go over every problem you got wrong in destroyer in detail and then redo every problem again?

Like jigabodo said, learn the overall mechanisms. Every reaction pretty much follows one of a few mechanisms.

Can someone share what their scores were for topscore vs. actual? I have no time and am starting to get scared looking at my scores.

I think I got
AA 17 TS 18
AA 18 TS 18
AA 19 TS 20
and real I got AA 21 TS 23.

I forgot what Pat was but I did better on achiever than on the real thing. Them angles are hard.

Ok, good to know. I've been getting AA & TS of 17-18. So I guess I'm not as bad as I thought.

I hope that's ketchup in your avatar.
