Hey, so I've been preparing the past two months for my OAT. I spent majority of my time going thru the 2019 OAT destroyer. I did every problem in every section along with taking notes and going thru the wrong answers as well. I went thru the destroyer twice. Is the destroyer a good representation of the actual OAT?

I found the Destroyer to be quite a bit more difficult than the actual OAT. The questions are very detailed and specific, especially for the organic and general chemistry sections. I thought the actual OAT was much more general/overarching! It helped me on the biology section having gone through the destroyer, however, and ended up getting a 400 on the bio section for the actual exam. I thought the physics in the destroyer wasn't very representative (I thought it was more challenging as well) but if you can do those, I think you'll be just fine on the actual test!

If you don't mind, after you finish the OAT could you let me know how helpful it was to go through all the problems on the destroyer? I really like your method of studying by going through a lot of problems and was wondering if I should do more of that instead of reading the kaplan book.
Thanks! I would really appreciate the advice!
It was super helpful to go thru destroyer. I went thru it 2.5 times but the more times you can get through it the better. Chem and Orgo sections were the most useful. I did not like the Kaplan blue book. Understand each problem in the destroyer, along with the right choices and wrong choices and how the questions are asked.
