hey guys...i took the dat in nov and scored an 18 in orgo. i have NO idea how i even got that. I didn't get in anywhere this year, so i'm going to retake the dat. how can i teach myself organic I and II in 4 months? i'm going back through lecture notes from 2 years ago and reading orgo 1 for dummies at the moment (i feel like a dummy). any other books you guys can suggest that'll teach the subject, not just review it?

When I took the DAT last year, I hadn't touched the subject in many years. So I simply got some college textbooks and reviewed the whole subject again in brute force. After that, I refined my knowledge with more specific and detailed guides like Kaplan, Destroyer, and others. With four months, I believe that it is certainly doable. Good luck.

whish u good luck mate. but u should never ever put something off for long and then try to cram it up in 4 months. possible but little by little does it. just read, practice, read, practice. i hope u have no children cause its going to be hard

Kaplan work well for orgo. It had been over 5 years since I had the class when I took the DAT. I didn't remember anything, but Kaplan got me there within 2 months and I scored very well.
