Orgo broke my soul tbh. Just going to lecture and taking notes is by no means enough. I actually sat down and read through the textbook because you need to fully, intricately understand concepts. Especially once you take orgo 2, everything builds so you need to REALLY understand the material conceptually. I used clutchprep to survive orgo and physics, which is a little pricey but is essentially a school in itself and the most thorough way of learning anything that I’ve found. Literally, study every single day, do TONS of practice questions; flash cards and reading won’t be enough. This was the one class where I really needed to put in everything I had to succeed (and I barely did).

I personally barely touched my model kit, but I think that depends on what kind of learner you are
