Test 1 question 80:
I actually didnt like this question when I read it and put to much thought into an easy question:

Two isomers of same molecular formula are closest in physical and chemical properties when exhibiting ______ isomerism:
conformation
constitutional
geometric
enantiomeric
diasteriomeric

They say conformational and I agree because its the same molecule but I remember learning in OChem that enantiomers have the same chemical and phyical properties which is why I selected it. Heres wiki: "Enantiomers have, when present in a symmetric environment, identical chemical and physical properties"

I know im wrong because conformational is obviously the same thing but had to get it out...
 
I did the same thing. I took my first Achiever test and didn't fair so well. When I went back through to see what I did wrong I could not believe that I made some of the pin-headed choices I did.

Don't get down. Just review and understand why things are the way that they are when you get an incorrect answer.

Good luck.
 
Thanks I was actually happy with my results and did very well in the organic but being said I thought there were some very tough ones. I wasn't expecting a question with a hoffman rearrangement or a clasien for that matter but DESTROYER prepared me well. Of my three mistakes one was this one and another was a naming I didn't pay attention to.

Youre right you learn from your mistakes and next time ill be more careful.
