I am a post bach, haven't looked at O Chem in a very, very long time, are there any suggestions on the best way to study for O chem for the DATS? Thank you for any help🙂
 
Hello @mpm ! I was a year removed from Orgo when I started preparing for the DAT, and while that may not sound like much, once I finished the course I tried to never think about Orgo again and forgot a lot of it when I began studying again. I found that DAT Destroyer is very, very useful for preparing yourself for any type of question that can be thrown at you on the DAT. It is very challenging and I would definitely go through it 2-3 times, but it prepares you very well and your scores will go up after going through it. However, since you are a bit removed and may want to refresh a bit, Chad's videos are great for learning/refreshing. Watch those once or twice, do the quizzes, and you'll be right back in it.

Once you're done preparing for just orgo with those resources, I would do the DAT Bootcamp practice tests since those are similar to what you will see on Test Day (the questions are even a little bit more difficult). Best of luck with your studies and let me know if you have an questions along the way!
 
I used Destroyer and DAT BC which were great, but I also really liked the Kaplan Blue Book. The orgo section on that helped me a lot and I had also been a year removed from orgo. There are also these little tear away sheets for the sciences which came in handy studying the day and day before my exam.
