So with 2 weeks left I still haven't spent much time on orgo, and it's keeping my BS score lower than I'd like. It's been a few years since I took the course. Anybody have any advice for the most high-yield way to go about it with only 2 weeks left? Is it worth it to try to memorize reactions, or should I focus on something else? I have the TPR books and that's about it.

thanks! 🙂

I have honestly given up on Orgo. Studying the dozens of rxns doesn't really help much. My best advice is just to go over the SN and E reactions, carbonyl compounds, and IR and NMR spectroscopy, since that is what I see most often on the test. Anything else that you need to answer can be deduced from the passage.

Thanks. I think that's a good idea actually.
