My DAT is on September 2nd. After taking a topscore test, I realized that i am not ready at all. Did okay on everything else(17s on bio and chem) , but i figured i could just spend a day going over ochem and be ready. I should have known. It is clearly my worst subject (i got B and C in ochem 1 and 2). Everytime i try to study it i damn near have a panic attack. So, instead of concentrating on it, i study for the other parts of the test that are easier to study for. Over the course of a few months, twice before or during my ochem studying i have just quit, not just on ochem but i dentistry. Anyway, i am senior this year and have not applied to dental school. I figure ill apply for fall 2007. First of all how should i study for ochem? What book? I have kaplan materials and Barrons. Should I make flash cards of all the rxns? Should i get schaum's? Next, if i take the test in December, or January, how should i go over all the material that I already have gone over? How do i keep it fresh?

Thanks for any help

Hey!

My DAT is on Sept 1st, and my lowest score is probably Ochem as well (although it's a tight battle with Bio). I'm using the Kaplan material to study as I've heard the Ochem stuff is good. Maybe we can motivate each other? heh

Good luck!

Ochem is my worst subject by far. But I did manage to pull up my practice scores from a 12 to a 15 🙂 It's just not something that makes sense to me. I'm just going to study as much as I can and hope I do well on the real DAT (mine is the 6th of sept). Good luck to all of you.
