How do you orient the bonds as they look in the answer choices? I can follow along and draw whats happening but in different orientation, so when I come to look at the answer choices, my drawings take too much time to distinguish amongst the orientations given in the answer choices. Although my answers can be correct, it's just hard for me to turn it in my head to look like the answer choices. I usually have this issue when forming new C-C bonds. This is just a basic example of an Aldol Addition, correct answer on left, my answer right.
