I'm wondering how hard are the actual nomenclature questions on DAT Orgo section?

I'm using Destroyer to practice Organic chemistry problems right now and they seem to put some emphasis on complexity of nomenclature.

From what I have read on the forums, destroyer is much more difficult then the actual DAT. I am also studying Destroyer and feel that they emphasize complexity so that the question on the DAT are trivial in relation to destroyer. The nomenclature I have seen on practice exams thus far have been nowhere close to as complex as those in destroyer.

I had one numenclature question, pretty simple ether. It actually was smth like identiffying the compound by the name.

I had a hard naming q on the dat.

It was a carbon chain with an phenyl and some group of the nitrogen variety. I also had to determine an R or an S config on a chiral carbon.

Using destroyer I got a 22 in the orgo section. It's good stuff but like other have said; harder than the real dat.
