So I took my SA Ochem last night and scored a 68% which was actually higher than what I expected since I have always been weak at Ochem. I made several educated guesses and most of it turned out right but there were several, I had no idea how to really answer.
With 3 weeks left, I would like to get an opinion on what you have been doing and what has helped you improve. Unlike the other sciences, Ochem is not something I can understand "properly" even after studying. With the Bio passages, even if I don't have all the content down to heart, it was easier to figure out some of the answers by extrapolating info from the passages..something I found not easily done for ochem passages.
Is it possible to do well on the ochem passages if you have the listed reactions memorized? Do you really need to know the little things here and there or if you have an idea of what reactants go in and what products you get, will that be sufficient? Will reviewing the AAMC ochem passages and TPR SW ochem passages and having those down be sufficient to do well..pretty much, I would like to raise my ochem to ~80% within 3 weeks (if that's even possible)?
Thanks for your help!
