Should I spent time on the Bio Destroyer?

Hi everyone,

My exam is in 2 weeks, and I am trying to decide if I should use the Destroyer-Biology. I have yet to finish reading Feralis Notes/Cliffs, and am considering reading them 2x instead of doing the Destroyer. Is the Destroyer-Biology absolutely necessary? (I scored low 20s in two BC tests. Hopefully, they're not flukes.)

Ideally, I'd like to do the Destroyer-Biology but I currently work ~55 hours a week, so my study time is limited. I try to wake up at 5AM to get 1.5 hours in and study 2-4 hours after work depending on when I get home. By then, I pass out.

With that, there is of course GC, OC, QR, PAT, and RC as well that I have to allocate time to. I want to finish GC, OC, QR Destroyer 2x, Math Destroyer 1x, and use 2-3 days to review all material. Honestly, I don't think I have time to squeeze anything else in. However, if Destroyer-Biology is absolutely necessary, I'll have no choice to take some time away from GC or OC.

On a related note, I have Math Destroyer with 16 tests. Is doing 1-10 or 1-12 enough? I am averaging 19 in BC right now.

Any advice on the Destroyer-Bio and Math Destroyer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

YES. It is the best biology tool out there. A few questions on my examind would be impossible to answer without it. Do it. Bio is more important than qr; schools tend to be forgiving for a low qr but never for a low bio score.

I decided to go through the first 200 questions in bio and read through Feralis/Cliff once. Although that may be not enough, I don't have a choice with the limited time :?

What is my outlook for the real exam which is 2 weeks away? The below are my simulated scores. My dream would be a 23 but I'd be with a 21 in all sections as well.

These are my BC scores right now:
Bio/GC/OC/PAT/RC/QR

1: 18/21/20/21/21/19
3: 22/24//18/18/20/19
4: 19/21/24/18/21/19

Realistically, I don't have enough hours to get through all of those. Today, I worked 10 hours with a 2 hour commute, so I'm just trying to get some bio reading and practice questions in. Hopefully, get in some math review too.

I do plan to do the first 10 tests and look through the stats questions in 11 and 12 of Math Destroyer as I've seen recommended on this forum. Since I'm scoring a 19, I'm hoping I can get to 21 with just these...

don't bank on your bc scores being a perfect indicator. if anything, DEFINITELY KEEP UP WITH FERALIS AND BIO DESTROYER. Finish all the questions and go over it thoroughly. I barely finished the destroyer and didn't have time to go over it a lot. I sorely regretted it.

Sure you do.
Working 10 hours + 2-hour commute = 12 hours
I’ll give you 7 hours to sleep, which brings the day’s total to 19 hours.
Say you take an hour to eat dinner / unwind / squeeze in Netflix, then your day adds up to 20 hours.
That leaves you with 4 hours to study — 1 hour for GC/OC, 1 hour for QR, 1 hour for Bio, 30 minutes to read through Feralis’ notes, and 30 minutes to use the washroom and brush your teeth.

Alternatively, if you are pressed for time and not feeling ready, you can always reschedule. There’s nothing worst than walking into the DAT and knowing you could have done more to get the scores you wanted.

I usually study >4 hours a day right now doing what you say BUT unfortunately I don't move as fast e.g. if I take 1 hour to do 40 QR questions I probably need another hour reviewing it all (both correct and incorrect) to make sure I learn from them. I also take longer than 30 mins to read and etc. Just doing the best I can each day

Nevertheless, thank you for the advice everyone! I'll do my best to put in as much Bio Destroyer as possible!
