Hey all,
I have my DAT in 8 days and am watching Chads videos to brush up a little on my organic. Does anyone have any suggestions on the key topics to look over?
Thanks

You just gotta know your stuff. I reviewed the worksheets and my formulas and the flowcharts for reactions but on test day I got a few products and reagents I had never seen and messed up a little. They also asked me under which conditions do elimination and or substitution reactions occur the fastest? I totally spaced and probably missed both those questions. Was scoring 19-21 on practice test and scored an 18 on the real deal. Oh well. Didnt prevent me from getting in this cycle. I would, however, study the crap out of GC and make a 23+. I made a 23 and I was sad that I didnt score higher. There were only 2 to 3 questions that I wasn't 95% sure on. I think EVERYBODY should score 23+ on GC. It helps boost the TS and to me is almost free points. GC is the easiest section. Only so many ways the can ask those questions

OC is different cuz you cant study your butt off and then get thrown by a few multi-step synthesis and there goes your 20 or 21 and you throw up an 18.

Best of luck!!
