Thanks much n wish you all have a beautiful Spring day!

BR Chemistry will teach you the concept (plus test-taking skills) like no others but in the context of MCAT. However, knowing the concept and applying it to a unique situation are different from simple problem-solving skills emphasized in many undergrad classes.

Going back to OP's original post, I would also recommend reviewing some algebra if it has been a while since you took science/math classes.

I was kind of in the same boat, as I had a bit of time between Chem 1 and 2, and bought General Chemistry 1 as a Second Language. You can buy it from Amazon. It is concise and easy to understand.

Are you wanting to review in order to retake Chemistry or are you wanting to review in order to take O Chem? When I took O Chem it had been 7 years since Gen Chem and all I did was borrow the Gen Chem textbook from a friend at school and browse through it during the break before the semester. That was plenty since the first few weeks were basically Gen Chem review anyways.
