Hey guys have a couple of questions about the destroyer.

1. What did you find as the most helpful technique when using the destroyer? (ie the set up you were using)

2. How long did it take you to make it though the destroyer?

I about about to get started on the destroyer and the math destroyer. Here was how I was going to use it but I am not sure it is the best way.

Day 1- 100 ochem problems and math test 1
Day 2- 100 ochem problems and math test 2
Day 3- 50 ochem and 50 gen chem problems and math test 3
Day 4- 100 genchem problems math test 4
Day 5- 100 genchem problems math test 5
Days 6-8 Reread half cliffs bio and really learning from my mistakes, re-watching some of chad's videos if needed and redoing the quizzes on the subjects I did poorly on
Day 9- Topscore exam 1 and go through all the missed problems
Day 10- keep rereading cliffs ap bio, CDP test, Math test 6
Day 11- Finish rereading cliffs ap bio, CDP test, Math test 7
Day 12- Kaplan Practice exam and go though all the missed problems
Day 13-18 redo the destroyer but now do like a real DAT (30 GC, 30 OC, 40 BIO) each day and follow that up with a math test.
Day 19- Topscore Exam 2


Lastly, I do not want to write in the destroyer b/c when I go back through I do not want my answers staring at me. Is it smart to re-write the whole question on blank paper, or just number paper and do you work on the paper?


How do you think that will do for me? I am open to more suggestions!!

This should work well. It is similar to what I did. I used excel to make a spreadsheet of numbers, so I did not have to write in the book.

Do the bio, it is worth it, has good stuff, and won't hurt to see it.

What did you put in the spread sheet? Just numbers you missed?

When you were working the questions did you re-write the whole question out, or just work the question?

I used the excel sheet (attached) like a scantron. I used a new one each time I went through to track my progress and keep tabs on what I needed to review.

When I was working it out I marked on the spread sheet the ones I got wrong and the ones I guessed. Afterwords I worked them and wrote down key concepts, formulas, and mistakes in a notebook.

I read that notebook every night before I went to sleep.

Brillant idea! Thanks I am going to try this out!

So you did not work ALL the problems out on paper as you went along? Just wrote in your answers and then ones that may need to be worked out, work those out on paper?
