M.Sc. in Chemistry colleges in Kerala

Hi Sneha, There may be no subject of study more feared than organic chemistry. However with effort, time and a sensible strategy you can definitely become ready for the next exam! Here we present 5 tips to grasp organic chemistry concepts and reactions quickly and efficiently. Your rule of thumb should be 1 hour of studying for each hour of lecture. Take that time to go back to the PowerPoint or class notes and ask yourself, “Do I really know what’s going on here?” The sooner you begin, the more time you have to answer questions and really prepare yourself for the exam. Set up a calendar to help yourself budget your time and maximize your efficiency. Organic chemistry is like a pyramid – the top will collapse without a strong base. Even if you think you have no time, go back to the introduction and early chapters and spend some time reviewing this material. You will likely be surprised how much better you will grasp the “hard” material once you completely understand the “easy” material! 70-80% of exams are based on practice questions assigned by professors from the book. If you master how to solve these questions and nothing else, you have already passed the exam! Once you solve these questions, use the practice exam as a “check” for any remaining issues and you will be completely prepared to ace your exam! Recalling memory is almost impossible if you are fatigued. Pulling an ‘all nighter’ for organic chemistry exams almost never ends well for students. Your best bet is to get 7-8 full hours of sleep before the exam, even if you feel you aren’t ready. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!
