An invaluable practice book that helps students get a grip on difficult concepts

Organic chemistry has long been the bane of pre-med students; on average, 25 to 50 percent of beginning organic chemistry students don't do well enough to continue to the next semester. Organic Chemistry I Workbook For Dummies aids students who are having difficulty keeping up with the pace of this challenging class by offering memorization tricks, problem-solving shortcuts, and lots of hands-on practice exercises. It helps students reinforce classroom learning, enhance their understanding of organic chemistry concepts, and get a leg up on their competition. Featuring questions and applications that are similar to those on the MCAT, it also includes exercises that directly apply to pre-med, pre-vet, and other health care-related fields.
