is it just me or the StereoChemistry Passages in TBR are pretty difficult , I'm having a hard time with some of the questions, I feel like even if I read the chapter I still wont be able to answer some of those Qs... :/😱

It's not just you, I feel like TBR is quite difficult overall. It will prepare us better for the actual MCAT!

Compared to the other books, I actually find TBR ochem easy, missing only 1-2 a passage at the most (only up to chapter 6 though). I suppose steriochemistry would be the most difficult of them (structure elucidation if I remember correctly was the same). I guess I had an excellent ochem prof., because I find the other BR material to be challenging. Like, these MCAT problems are about the level of difficulty of some textbook ones.

I would suggest doing ochem practice problems/exams from you first semester ochem course. That way, you can conserve your practice material and you rid yourself of the time/MCAT factor. The review itself probably doesn't get you to where you want to be in terms determining steriochemistry in a timely manner. And perhaps some of the chemical techniques will brush things up.

If you are getting 70%+ in TBR in general, you are OK for the MCAT. TBR is meant to be hard...

Structure Elucidation in organic killed me... I got a wooping 68% on phase I in this chapter. I hate BR.
