NMR - need to remember Chemical Shift Values?

The IR are very easy to remember in comparison. It is so annoying to remember just arbitrary values. Do you need to remember the Chemical shifts in NMR? I mean, shielding and deshielding effects on 1H and 13C NMR to produce different chemical shifts seem to be a very valid question to be asked, but remembering all those shift values? It seem like a giant waste of time.

Examples such as Table 13.2 in the KBB.


Thanks ahead of time.

idk about C nmr. but i would definitely remember the major functional group shift values for H NMR, I mean might as well, they're not that difficult.

Just remember the major functional groups...such as carbonyls, ethers, double bonds, carboxylic acids, where benzene turns on on a readout, etc

My test had several NMR & IR questions. So you should just know the general shift values for the major functional groups.

so deff memorize all of table 13.2 in kaplan?

what about the chemical shift in ppm for HNMR?
