How much O-Chem do you really need to know. Should I be trying to memorize equations or just have a general idea? Also, do you have to know any reactions involving alkenes?? Any help would be appreciated.

hmm the amount of O Chem on each MCAT form varies, and it depends on which form u get on the test day
to be on safe side u should memorise all reactions
do memorise SN1, SN2, E1 ,E2

I very much disagree with this. On the test it's going to be more giving you a reaction you haven't seen before and then you have to figure out what is going on. It's much more efficient to know your functional groups extremely well and how they react with each other. If you know that, then you can reason through any reaction you will see.turquoise_water said:
