Hey Peeps,

Just like all of you out there, I am one tired person. I have been taking the mini reviews in the back of each Kaplan chapter and Topscore OChem practice, and getting 19's. I wanted to know what is the most effective way to help increase my score (other than studying 🙄 ). I already have Achiever, but want to take it a little later closer to the exam date when I should be on my high... (I swear if i have to see another alcohol or aldol condensation rxn, Im gonna.....)

MAKE FLASHCARDS. And then remake flashcards of the rxns that youre getting wrong on your practice tests. I also made sheets of oxidation rxns,reduction rxns,and then outlines of theory for each kap ch.

I just found a set of organic chem flashcards at barns and nobles for 9.95. I'm going to try carrying them around and see what happends. 600 cards in total, questions on one side answers on the other.

learn mechanisms and general trends. memorize the least amount if possible. learn nomenclature and priority of functional groups, including prefixes and suffixes which makes learning nomenclature a whole lot easier IMO. build on mnemomics; they help a lot.good luck

19s on topscore usually indicate a score of 20+ on the real thing. Good luck. Just know the basics. They wont test you on obscure reactions.
