Sparkly,
I humbly recommend that you memorize the naming, basic group and fundamental reactions; you will need them over and over again. That is how I got B’s in OChem 1 and 2; it is a lot of work and take 1-2 hours/hour of class. Also, be thankful that you do not need to take PChem or IChem!
The borrowed “Some Common Sense” is a very close relative who I trust.
