There are only two ways to prepare for organic chemistry understanding principles and solving problems. Although these two aspects are completely different, instructors will typically gauge your understanding of the principles by testing your ability to solve problems; therefore you must master both aspects of organic chemistry. In this study guide we have provided concise lecture notes and added additional questions that one might see on an exam or on a standardized test like the MCAT. In this book, we explore step-by-step processes for analyzing problems so that the principle can be understood with ease.
