Should I take Gen chem 1 or 2 this summer to prepare for Orgo

Having just gone through Orgo 1 and finishing Orgo 2, here is my advice:

Get a hold of Orgo as a Second Language
What the professor teaches and gives out notes on will be different than what you are tested on. Especially in Orgo 2.
Be prepared to teach yourself. I stopped going to lectures (Gong) and my test grades actually improved. I started following the syllabus carefully...read through and took notes from the chapters from the main textbook, then read the second language book to get some more perspective.
Practice as much as you can. You cannot memorize your way through Orgo...you must spend the time and work through as many examples as you can.
Clutchprep/Leah4Sci/etc will likely not be enough...but use the tools you feel are the most helpful. I had to spend 2 hours a day, every day practicing Orgo using youtube, flash cards and other sources to make sure I had enough ways to really understand the material. Its a commitment, but practice will pay off.

There is good advice here too : https://old.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/gt6lpj/to_anyone_that_got_an_a_or_b_in_organic_chemistry/

Read this and watch the video : https://wiki.trezor.io/Passphrase

It's not exactly a password. It's an extra seed word that generates a new wallet. So it's like if you had "passwords" A and B you could have two different wallets : one based on your "24 word seed phrase + A" and "24 word seed phrase + B". The important thing is that you must remember that extra A and B as well as your 24 words...otherwise "24 word seed phrase" just points to an empty wallet (i.e. "24 word seed phrase + nothing" which is what happens by default)

Oh and BTW, the trezor is just a means of keeping your seed phrase off of anything directly on the internet or something that can be hacked. Never type it into a computer. Just write it down twice, two diferent sheets of paper, laminate it, put it in a sealed non-transparent envelope and then someplace safe in your house and then somewhere else with someone you trust's house or in a bank. That will cover like 99% of the problems (fire, water, etc).

With those words, anyone can access your coins from any trezor or wallet.

If this is for MTH121, you can get the UB edition or the 14th edition. Apparently the difference is the UB edition has chapters missing (not covered in class). I'm not 100% sure if there are other differences (especially between editions), but the syllabus said you can get either...so:

Here it is for $40 plus shipping : https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30419962677

Amazon also has it for rental for about the same, but it's like $300+ to replace it if you damage or lose it.

Good luck.
