Organic chem Chirality/Conformation/isomers on PCAT

I don't remember seeing "isomers" on last June PCAT? Has anyone saw it on other sessions of PCAT? I just wonder if it's worth studying..

I just have problem imagining 3-demensional picture in my mind. R/S and cyclohexane conformation are very confusing..

Did you ever learn how to determine chirality using your hand? You should be able to do R/S questions if you've learned how to use your hand to map out chirality. Isomers do show up on PCATs.

so what are the topics that are covered in organic chemistry? I've heard that its mostly nomenclature and some basic reactions and sn1, sn2, e1, e2. Is there going to be any questions about acid-base, or aromatic substitution or anything a little more advanced than basic o-chem? thanks.
