Looking for some tips/advice on Destroyer?

Ok so, I've been doing the destroyer for about a week now, the problem is that
I will do for example 30 ochem problems (untimed) and then any question I got wrong or didn't understand completely, I rewrite the question, understand the solution fully and many times access any other sources that explain the concept behind it and write that down. I do the same for chem. For bio, I make a flashcard if I get the question wrong and any foreign terms I look up and define them. Each subject probably takes about 3 hours to go through when going over solutions or a bit longer. I take my exam in a month, and I'm worried that what I'm doing, is taking way too much time. Any thoughts?

did you do a thorough content review before tackling destroyer? 3 hours for 30 q's is a lot of time

you'll be fine. when I first started destroyer about 7 weeks ago, I was going at about the same speed as you and doing the same thing. Just be resilient and make sure you understand each question and answer. then wait a couple weeks, then do destroyer again. I did this, and by my third time through, I understood each and every question fully. don't worry about time, just make sure you understand what you're learning

I did do Chads, but I guess every time I get a question wrong I look back into my notes for Chad and grasp that concept there.

As someone has mentioned- understanding what you did wrong and what you did right (to make sure you answered a question correctly for the right reason). I still think 3 hours is a lot of time- thats just my opinion. That time can be used to review concepts (if that's what you do - great!).

You are doing great there. Exactly as I did and recommend anyone to do. I call it the "correction" method. For ochem and gchem, you could cut down a little bit of time to keeping it to two hours? Maybe you don't have to rewrite the problems. For me, one hour was enough to do problem solving (I did 40 problems each day) and another hour for correction/review. For bio, I understand it most certainly will go over two hours just because of the sheer amount of info you need to cover, so no worries there. Destroyer on Bio could be discouraging and tiresome (I was a victim), but you've got time. For bio, put Cliffs in higher priority than Destroyer. Keep it up!
