Organic Chemistry as a Second Language: Translating the Basic Concepts????

[water123]

Hi. I was viewing some past threads yesterday night and came across this title for organic chemistry (I think its a textbook)


Organic Chemistry as a Second Language: Translating the Basic Concepts by Klein

I am going to be taking Organic I and II this year and preparing for the MCAT as well. Is this book helpful, especially for the MCAT? While trying to order it on amazon, I also saw that under the same title there are these two volumes

General Chemistry I as a Second Language: Mastering the Fundamental Skills

Organic Chemistry II as a Second Language: Second Semester Topics


Can someone please tell me which books I should buy? The first title or these two volumes mentioned above? And has anyone used these books before - are they helpful?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey I have both of them and they are awesome , made me the top student in both org I and II ! Honestly assuming you have a professor that teaches organic based on mechanisms then this is the best book set all around and gives you great background for the MCAT. I just took the MCAT and the material and reasoning I learned from these two books helped alot , after all the MCAT is a reasoning test and Klein gives you the info you need to predict and understand what is going on in Organic Chem.

I also agree, I used those two books and they were really great supplements, but I also thought my Orgo Professors were also great in teaching Orgo.

At this point Orgo is cake on the MCAT for me at least because the of the books and also because I really enjoyed Orgo anyways.
