When I was studying, I had just taken Ochem the year before so it was fresh in my mind. Gen Chem I learned mostly from the DAT Destroyer. I relearned all my gen chem from that book. I didn’t have a good time with Kaplan’s stuff, although I’ve heard people swear by it. At some point, you just have to sit down and be willing to shut the world out and just study. It won’t feel it’s sticking but you’ll be surprised what you can recall. And if that isn’t working for you, perhaps look into getting a tutor.

I would go days doing the same stuff. I mixed it up in the week but I know myself to be a very single-minded person and if I took on more than one subject at a time, it would get all mixed up in my head.

My daily study schedule for 2 months (June to August) went something like this:
2-2:30 PM Wake up
3PM Hit the Gym
4PM Study
7-7:15PM Dinner
4 AM Sleep

I took a monthly calendar and marked off my test day. From there, I worked backwards. I gave myself a rest day right before the exam (which sorta wasn’t because I was a trained monkey and not studying was weird). 2 days prior was review of old materials. 3 days prior was take final practice exam (topscore or achiever). You get the idea.

Also, when you were studying, did you mix it up (i.e. do a little bit of different subjects each day) or just do one subject at a time? I’ve been doing one at a time but it’s so hard to read bio or chem for more than a couple of hours at a time. I know this varies from person to person, but just wanted an idea as to what others have tried and seen results with. What was your study schedule like?

Thanks!
