Hey everyone, so I'm going to be purchasing DAT and math destroyer very soon, and I was wondering how you go about studying it. I know that people make sure to know the ins and outs of all of it and go through it multiple times, but I'm not sure what is the best way to keep track of answers. Do any of yall have any excel files or other tips other tips to get the most out of DAT destroyer? I'm going to be doing the Cliff AP problems soon and formatting it as if I'm using the destroyer to get the hang of it.

I know there is a spreadsheet for the 2013 Destroyer version. I'm not sure if there's one for the newer editions, though :/

What did you use to keep track of everything?

I have used excel and made my own spreadsheet

Different sheet different subjects
Another sheet practice tests

Do you write out the whole explanation or just refer back to destroyer using your excel?

I just wrote the topic next to the question number like "C-NMR" or "Aldol" so I know which questions to review when I want to go over a specific topic.

Oh ok. If you could go back and study again, what would you change/improve?

I put all my answers in a notebook. If I got a question wrong or it contained information I wasn't familiar with, I would mark it in some way. After I finished a section in Destroyer I would go back through the answer explanations and the questions I marked and add/emphasize that material in my notes.

Add it to your notes destroyer spiral or into your Ferali's notes? Thanks a bunch for your help as well as your notes.

I've been doing what feralis did. I guess I'm old school and like the physical copy.

The second time I went through and did all wrong answers

The third time I actually wrote in the book itself it helped me finalize it and feel done with studying haha

Do you have any breakdown somewhere or schedule?

I would add it to the notes files on my computer (biology, chemistry, or organic chemistry). The Feralis notes for biology I've released publicly don't include any of those additions though, I think people should purchase the Destroyer for that material.

Oh ok I understand thanks I'll probably do that then!

I really don't want to think about studying again for this test.. LOL sorry

When you go over Destroyer a second or third time, do you guys just go over the questions you got wrong, or all of them? Also, when you guys are marking down questions in your log, are you only keeping track of the questions you didn't get right/ are confused about? And also, how long would you say to spend on Destroyer for a first "run"? My exam is June 30 and I'm starting it tomorrow, and want to go through it 2-3 times. Thanks!

Look at my breakdown, I think I had screenshots of how I used the Destroyers. Good luck studying!
