Hey guys,

So today I was going through the Gen Chem Destroyer (1st time, I'm around 130 questions through) and I was getting so many wrong that it was just "destroying" my self confidence. I'm considering dropping the Gen Chem and O Chem Destroyer out of my study schedule and sticking solely with the practice questions on Chad's quizzes and Bootcamp. From all the practice tests I have seen I believe these questions are much closer to what I'll see on the DAT, and mastering these will ensure that I cover what I need for these tests. . I was 2nd in my state university OChem class both semesters, am very confident in my ochem abilities, and the OChem destroyer is still making me feel like an idiot.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I understand that the DAT Destroyer helps you with a range of questions, but I'm unsure if it's worth the struggle it is to get through for Gen Chem and OChem, rather just use it for the Bio Section.

Let me know what you think.

I haven't touched it yet. So reading this is scary, but still, do you want someone to give you hard time at first then make your life easier later on, or do you want someone to give you fake security and mess up your life later on.

I mean I love Chad's quizzes, but I do believe the dat is much harder, so I want to see all the hard questions there & get used to them.

Think about destroyer as tough love!

It will toughen you up and make you much stronger if you teach it as a learning experience.

Even though I don't like destroyer much but base on my previous experience the destroyer for Chem and orgo is good! It is overkill but it expose you to question style you will see on the exam specially for gen Chem! I would not drop destroyer that would be to risky! That book is designed to help you face the though question now so on the exam it will be smooth!! Once again destroyer is over over kill but its good learning material! That's my opinion! Also the name speak for itself it meant to destroy you lol just kidding good luck

Pretty much everyone who uses destroyer feels that dread and worry when they go through it. It definitely destroyers confidence. The biggest benefit for the destroyer is not to use it to give you a score, but to find your weaknesses and learn little things that might get used to trip you. Use the destroyer more as a learning tool and less as a score gauge and it will become, a little, easier to take the beating that it gives out.

so i used ochem destroyer

it absolutely destroyed me but it ended up being very useful imo

half of it is your ability to tolerate getting destroyed and your ability to learn from doing questions
