i'm thinking about getting orgo as a second language

i have the book right now, but i don't understand anything.

But it looks like a pretty decent book that narrows everything down and easy to read/follow.

I need to buy the real thing i rented it from the library to check it out before i buy the real thing.

I still gotta take physics and i might get the physics as a second language.

That's the only one I used. It breaks everything down so well. I had a good textbook, too. I didn't always read it though 😛

well i understand the VERY beginning such as drawing lewis dots lol still kinda forget that tho. and gotta know orbitals/geometry which is easy.


The beginning is sorta basic such as drawing the compound and understanding bond line drawings.

The only way to learn this thing is too learn it first then practice.

Chapters:
-bond line drawings
-resonance
-acid-base
-geometry
-nomenclature
-conformations
-configuration
-mechanism
-substitution reactions
-elimination reaction
-addition reaction
-predicting products
-synthesis

I liked orgo...when I see it on the BS section it makes me feel a little better...compared to when I see really dense bio passages

that's good to know. i'm definitely getting the book. now i need to scour amazon for cheap prices 😀

 

[tman5890]

I'm sure ozzi will be fine since he knows most of it from MCAT prep

 

[tman5890]

It's like 20 bucks or something. You could probably find a copy online for download

did you use examkrackers, i've been just looking at kaplan books and they look really good but are they worth it?

 

[deleted357625]

It's like 20 bucks or something. You could probably find a copy online for download

the cheapest i found which is on amazon is $31 and up

are they lots of practice problems in it?

yeah i guess you're right but i think the mcat only touches the basics

 

[deleted357625]

i prefer textbooks. i don't like electronic books at all.

 

[deleted357625]

yea esp for mechanisms. and for the rest yea...they kinda dumb it down and tell you the wrong and right way to solve problems.

You've got a foundation to start from 👍

awesome 👍

 

[deleted357625]

The books i really like, that i needa check out is the series "for the utterly confused"

I read through the general chemistry one and it dumbed it down and i really liked it but i couldnt find the same series for other books.

i needa check those out.

The best way to learn orgo, especially orgo 2 is lots of practice

Or use the for dummies books. They can be pretty good, too.

 

[deleted357625]

awesome 👍

i think the book will be really good as a supplement which is whats its for. I def think it will help out a lot and you'll catch on solving problems faster than your fellow classmates, im planning on buying it.

the weird thing is tho....the book is really small and thin.

I stalked him in the 2018 thread...he no likey us anymore 🙁
On a side note, when is your MCAT, Goose? Friday?

Hey tman! Yep test this Friday! I'm happy the stress hasn't quite set in yet. I know the night before the test is going to be brutal though 🙁

nah, i saw a crapload of those but i didn't like any of them.

👍👍 That was really handy. Carry it around everywhere easily.

Well, on saturday morning after you're done getting drunk you can tell us how awesome you did 😀

yeah. i'm definitely going to buy it because my prof has a bad reputation on ratemyprofessor.com

I used one for calc and thought it was really helpful. Also for physics.
