Chemistry is all about practicing problems. The more you do a problem, the more times you will get it right. The more problems you do, the more times you start seeing the problem again. Long story short, hope that you did enough problems to start seein very similar problems on the real deal (i.e. do as many problems as you can and make sure you can do it if you see it again!)

Have you already taken Orgo? When I first started studying, I read through "Organic Chemistry as a Second Language" and it was AWESOME to get me back up to speed so that Chad made more sense more quickly. I took Ochem in 2002, so it had been awhile, but I highly recommend that book if you're looking for a third ochem source other than chad and destroyer.

I used destroyer/kaplan (felt kaplan was kind of not very thorough) - added on my ochem notebook from college. Sorry that's not so helpful, but I took a tests for ochem from kaplan destroyer, achiever, topscore...ended up with a 24! Always read through the answers of questions and understand concepts. I never used chads videos but I heard they are amazing! I wish i had chad's videos at the time

Also I agree w the person above - use organic chemistry as a second language to help fill in holes that you may have forgotten some concepts. I had both the first book and the second from college and used them for the DAT

Memorize those two (Chads and Destroyer). I did and got a 25 organic friday. I read KBB months ago and likely had forgotten 100% of it...

Those two are fine!
