When I took it, the professor insisted it didn’t require a lot of memorization. But it seemed to me mostly about rote memorization. Reagents, temperatures, pressures, catalysts.

Prior to an organic test I would lay in bed mentally drawing the structures and reactions. If unable to I would get out of bed and look it up, otherwise I could not sleep.
