For anyone that used destroyer and have taken the DAT what would you say the percent right you were getting your first time through the destroyer and what was your actual DAT score? I have done all of Chad's videos and quizzes I am making my way through destroyer and I am ranging from 50-75% right in each section. I plan to go through it another time and do DAT Bootcamp. My test isn't until July 19th but I am just trying to see where I stand.
 
I got like 70% in Bio, 60% in GC and 65% in OC...

You're gonna miss a lot, so don't sweat it. The main point is to learn from your mistakes! Review EVERY question, even the ones you got right!
 
I think I got a little less than half right the first time I went through it. There were some parts where I was getting almost 75% wrong! But don't sweat it! I ended up getting a 20ts
 
I think 50-75% right the first time through is really good, actually. My impression is that some people get even less than that the first time through but with practice and understanding of the questions are able to get great DAT scores in the end.
 
If you are getting 50-75% for the first time, that is very good. Better than many. It is a tough book, but if you know it and understand its concepts, it will make you stronger.
 
Destroyer rap.ed me on biology and gen chem the first try and I was fine with organic since I tutored organic in undergrad.
The second time around, gen chem got much better and I started to grasp the concept they were trying to test on the questions.
Biology was just rote memorization skills and I am not sure if destroyer was an ideal way to prepare for bio or not, except for random information they throw here and there.

Gen chem I'd say about 5~6 wrong out of 30 questions (I did 30 question for 1 sitting)
O hem I'd say about 2~3 wrong out of 30 questions( mainly because they introduce sly tricks here and there)
Bio I'd say about 8~10 wrong out of 40 questions
 
Looks like you are doing well. Those are hard questions. If you knkw why you got them wrong, and reread those topocs in cliffs or Feralis, you should be ok.
