I started reading this book before I entered Organic Chemistry classes, and I found that when I started classes, I already knew all of the concepts. The book is in a good format, and the tests helped me focus on what I needed to study for the class. I recommend this book if you need a solid, concise review of O-Chem!

Organic Chemistry (Test Yourself) can be helpful for you if you do not understand lectures and homework is too hard for you. However, if you are seeking for an in depth material that tells everything about organic chemistry, I suggest you abuse your textbook a little bit more than before.

I used this book to help me for a standardized exam in Organic Chmeistry offered through a board. When I was taking a Organic Chemistry class, I had been doing really well. However, I was uncertain about how I scored on a standardized exam because I had no idea what it would ask. This book coveres all materials that you need to know for the entire Organic Chemistry series. I took a series which was for Chemistry and Engineering majors, but this book sometimes covered the topics that I never learned in my class. If you want to prepare for a standardized exam or review the entire College Organic Chemistry series, I will totally recommend it! I was placed at 1 upper % in the entire US afterward.

I purchased this book to help me understand the material and to help my review for tests in my organic chem 2 class. The book was helpful for neither task. If you don't already understand the material from class, this book is too brief in its explanations to help you. Also, the practice questions were completely unlike the questions my instructor put on tests - all the questions in this book are conceptual and my class focused on applied synthesis and transformations.

I found this book to be very useful in helping me review organic chemistry concepts. I like the way it asks questions and then gives thorough explanations later in the text rather than immediately following the question like other texts.
