Organic Chemistry!

Somebody pacify me...I just started studying for organic chemistry (via Chad's videos) and it's more difficult than I remember! So many reactions to know and memorize! I made A's in both o chem classes but this was three years ago. I have 7ish more weeks before the test. What do I need to focus on? Keep on with Chad's videos and destroyer? Help!

I'm probably overreacting but I'd like some advice. Thanks

I had a similar experience, but what helped me was actually taking notes while watching Chad's videos as well as understanding the concept behind reactions rather than straight memorization. I'm still studying but I have a much better grasp of ochem now after watching Chad's videos actively. You still have plenty of time left so if I were you I would continue with Chads and do destroyer. Chad's resources such as his reaction table, concept outlines and quizzes are also very helpful in solidifying concepts. Best of luck!

Go over nucleophiles, acids and bases. Then every reaction becomes predictable. Just took the DAT, thats the best orgo advice I can give.
