HNMR complex splitting for MCAT?

[vivax]

I'm studying from TPR, and according to the orgo book, we should just assume the n + 1 rule to be true even in situations where we typically need to use complex splitting.

This seems a bit hand-wavey to me, but I'd be glad to not have to review my complex splitting notes. Is this true?

n+1 should be sufficient although I'd doubt you'd get more than 1 straight-up NMR question on the test, if that.

They're not going to have you interpret some weird, ****ed up NMR on the test. It will most likely be a very simple case and applied towards understanding the structure of a drug molecule or something like that. So no need to worry about long-range coupling or other things like that.
