In O-Chem do you usually review material that you need to know from general chemistry or review material that will be prevalent to the course before actually starting o-chem material?

I'm scared of o-chem because I don't really remember much of Lewis dot, electron configuration, quantum mechanics, electron geometry or structure like tetrahedral/octahedral/etc., or how the electrons really work when you look at it in a 3d way with the shapes and energy levels, plus hybridization and the who sp2d2 and stuff like that...

Will all of that be really important for me to have a good grasp on BEFORE going into ochem?

I've heard some recommend organic chemistry as a 2nd language to look at before starting organic, does that book review the stuff you need to know to do well in organic?
