I've been having trouble in the following topics, and would like to learn more about them. Has anything worked for you in the following topics?

Optics (having trouble remembering virtual vs. real image and things like where between focal point is it inverted, stuff like that).
Electrostatics/Electromagnetics
Electrochemistry
Molecular Biology
Ochem in general

Thank you! :]

www.lasalle.edu/~price great for ochem ....
for physics TPR was great. For optics I would remember the mnemonic LexCDave ... Idk i made it up maybe you could try making up a mnemonic that would mean something to you. LexCdave means L = lens ex "convex" C = converging ... D diverging "concave" ... I once knew someone names lexi and she dated a dave... Now mirrors is the opposite for that completely converging is concave etc. Try finding things like that to help and look into TPR.

Also, TPR is great for Ochem and anything in general especially bio buy their books!!!

I have the Princeton review hyper learning (in class version) but it doesn't have explanations

I actually don't like TPR Ochem. I feel that it has bits and pieces of information but doesn't explain things well enough. I've been using my Klein Ochem textbook and AAMC guideline. TPR might be OK for SN1/SN2 stuff and spectroscopy, though. "Chemistry as a second language" by David Klein is very good also, if you don't have a textbook (it's small, you can buy it on amazon and he explains things wonderfully!).
