Haha, man I LOVE procrastinating...
I just have a question about the organic chem section,
I heard its just basic naming stuff.. but is it basic like.. just naming hexane/hexene/hexyne ? or will there be functional groups added onto it as well? like.. alcohols / keytones etc.. (hexone/hexanol blahblah)?

Oh yeah, and biology.. I heard from a few ppl that human anat is the main focus, but now one of my friends that took it said that i should focus alot more on ecology and less on human anat cuz there wasn't many anat questions for him =\

Thanks

You should be able to recognize the functional groups on sight. So if they said which of these is an alcohol, you should know. I don't remember IUPAC nomenclature being on there. But, it has been awhile so I can't say for sure that the content hasn't changed.

I took it back in March of 2004. I was very surprised by the biology section. I had focused my studying on human anatomy and found many many questions on ecology, adaptation, etc.

Study everything from BIO 1&2, Anatomy, etc. The Kaplan book was pretty thorough.

Thanks guys,

Oh and for the vocab, would it be wise just to study vocab from that list posted a few threads under mine?

And.................hopefully last question.. Its about structural chemistry and other physical chemistry.. Should I know stuff like Nuclear phenomena? And.. orbitals n' stuff? or is some of that stuff really useless?
