I'm seeing things in DAT Destroyer's organic chemistry section that weren't covered in Chad's videos, and it's all getting a little overwhelming with DAT date closing in. Did you see things on the real DAT that were in Destroyer but not in Chad's videos?

If the real DAT is like Destroyer, I'm so going to get rocked in OChem. I'm past the point of trying to absorb everything, so just trying to figure out what parts to focus on in the next few days to maximize my Ochem score.
 
Generally, most people feel it is closer to Chad's videos and problems than to destroyer. For me that was definitely the case.

DAT Destroyer for OChem is much harder. If you have Chad's down solid you should be good. That said, DAT Destroyer does help you understand more if you can do those problems but don't let it destroy your confidence.

Yes good point.

There were at least 2-3 questions I would have missed in Ochem if I only watched Chad's. Destroyer is overkill? yes, but it saved my a*s for those 2-3 questions and these questions make a lot of difference in outcome.

Know how to do questions in Destroyer but don't get overwhelmed by it. Chad's Videos alone will probably be good enough for ~20+ for both GC and OC, but doing Destroyer is what allows you to nail 24 and higher - that's what I feel like.

Real DAT is pretty straight forward. You will be fine.
 
Yep, real DAT is mostly basic and straight-forward, but Destroyer can certainly help you to avoid missing any easy "trick" problems. Destroyer is hard but the layout and relative types of questions are on par, just at a much more difficult level.
