I'm looking through Kaplan and I have lost count. Are all of them fair game?

Based on what I've encountered in Destroyer, you'll have to basically know all the formulas in Kaplan at least. There are even some additional ones that were in destroyer that Kaplan left out! 😱

So all of em?

Do you have them memorized as your working through them?

Know them like the back of your hand.
Know them like the front of your face.
Know them so that you will spend only a second figuring out which formula to use for a question.

I agree by the way.

Yeah Polarmolar you're gonna have to know all of them, BUT you'll find that the more practice problems you do the more you remember the formulas. When I first started studying gen chem I made a huge list of formulas and was sort of intimidated, but after working through destroyer I rarely ever refer back to it because I use the same formulas so many times that it's just easily accessible in my memory bank. Good luck bud.

She's a beast man, I've been working through it and am more than half way through. Hopefully I'll be done with it tonight, so I can start ochem tomorrow.

Let me tell you what though, destroyer has raised my general chemistry confidence by so much. I thought I knew my gen chem pretty well when I finished kaplan, but man early on destroyer kicked me in the b@lls and gave me a reality check. Now I can go through problems much faster and much more confidently. Definitely worth doing.

haha, I can say the exact same about ochem. Let me warn you that even Kaplan subject tests will have stuff not covered in the notes...you can imagine whats gonna happen when you get to destroyer ochem lol.
