I don't like this at all. You indicating that you are watching Chad's videos while doing Destroyer makes it seem as though you do not have a good grasp on the content as is. You will not get anything out of destroyer and will lose confidence if you do not first get a decent background in gchem/ochem first.
 
Yeah, I would go for Chad's stuff before hitting Destroyer if you can make that work just because otherwise, you will be dragging through Destroyer really slow and likely getting a lot of stuff wrong unless you remember most of your orgo and GC.

The nice thing about orgo in Destroyer is that I felt like once I hit the middle of it, I was just speeding along not getting too much wrong--you start to get an intuition for it as you work through it 🙂 . But GC in Destroyer was kinda tough and calculatey for me. Also I did Chad's quiz questions which I liked cuz he makes you go through a lot of similar yet different questions so you get how to do the common calculations (and tricky versions of them) of stuff you gotta know. With this much time and all the stuff you are gonna do, you will do great I'm sure!
 
i did destroyer without watching chad and did not understand anything, then I watched the videos, and now im back to destroyer, and it seems so much easier. I suggest finish chad videos first then do the problems.
 
Thank you for the suggestions... but will you guys feel better if I tell you that I went through Chad's videos once already but going over his final review lectures just in case I missed any concepts. 😛. Now does my schedule sound a little better?
