Im going through tests in Dr. Collins and there are significant amount of orgo like naming and reaction! Im scared because I took only 1 semester of orgo and we didnt study many reactions only alkanes alkenes alkynes SN2/SN1 and E2/E...
Could someone tell me how much actual orgo is on a pcat?
Thanks!!

Orgo constitutes only a small portion of the pcat, and it includes basics, so sn1/sn2/e1/e2 rxns and naming. Nothing too severe!

It varies person to person. Idk if it was luck, but my PCAT had a lot of Orgo. Also it just happened to be what I was learning in Orgo 2 at that moment. So the questions were review for me.

I agree with CV621. There were questions about aromatic ring, nitration and sulfonation, meta and ortho, naming compound in Orgo II ... It wasn't too difficult if you had Orgo II, but it might be problematic if you have not. It seems to me that Orgo 1 and 2 constitute a bigger portion of the test than it used to be.

I took the test in early 2014 before they changed it, so i guess they added more orgo questions than there was before
