ochem reactions are driving crazy!!
im using destroyer to study for it and looks like every questions they ask for reaction has 3-4 steps in it. is it like that in real OAT???
these are much more complicated what i learned in ochem class
or does real OAT just ask for 1 reaction? and pretty basic reactions?
with destroyer ochem sections are heavily relied on reactions, i probably getting 30-40% right on oat destroyer which worries me A LOT!!

any help would be great
thanks!

yeah, the real OAT was more straightforward with simpler reactions and more concepts. i saw the OAT destroyer problems and they are way harder than the actual test. look at the ADA practice test to see the difficulty of each section

Agreed, the sample test is much more on par with the actual test than anything else I saw. The actual test is much more concept based, but there are several reaction questions. As far as multi-step reactions I did have a few like number 74 on the practice test. But like that problem you may not really need to know what each step does, based on the available answers you may be able to figure it out based on only a step or two.
