How to start Organic Chemistry Class 12th: Step by Step Guide
9 out of 10 students say that “Organic is Tough”, Well if you take a thought, It is! Organic is one of the most difficult parts when it comes to chemistry. “How can someone memorize this much”, “How to retain what I read?” “Are there any shortcuts?”. Calm down your horses, DoubtConnect is here to rescue.
We know that Organic requires a lot of effort, but no worries, We are here to guide you from top to bottom in your Organic Chemistry preparation. Most of you feel sick while reading it, Don’t worry we have come up with awesome tips and tricks that will just make your day!
35% of your chemistry paper consists of the Organic section, So it gets really important to cover up if you’re targeting a really good score in your class 12th boards. So this brings a lot of stress and you start panicking as we know that how many times you’re seniors started going mad with the name of Organic, wait, we’re not making you hell scared (that you already are ;) ) but we’re telling you what it feels like when you face it in the last months.
So without further a do, let’s kill Organic.
#Rule1 Don’t go for Bookish Knowledge
Yes, Red Flags! Avoid just directly pouring yourself down on the book and start cramping, No, just don’t, rather understand the concepts and start your preparation from the beginning. Every element has its own story in Organic, even some hidden ones that are hard to find in books, plus a book never comes with short tricks like “ emv series waala shortcut “ , so there you go.
#Rule2 Logic
We have seen a lot of students just saying, “Cram, Cram, Cram”, they don’t go after logic, they just CRAM. You don’t have to follow that strictly, otherwise what’s the point of reading this blog. See, just don’t go for a shortcut here. You might take time to learn a particular concept but once you’re done, you can solve literally any question with it. You don’t just have to be dependent on a limited amount of questions you know.
#Material
Let’s admit it, considering Boards and even JEE Mains, for Chemistry, hands down to all might NCERT! You can refer NCERT as an avenger (for Chemistry only)
But even if you like to go on with something else, here’s the list.
- Concept of Organic Chemistry by Tej Prakash Akhouri
- Together with Chemistry study material for class 12 by R.P manchandra, Shivanshu Manchanda
- Concept of Organic Chemistry for Competitive Examination Vol.1
- Handbook of Chemistry by Singh Rp
- Organic Reaction conversions mechanism & problems by RL Madan.
#Tips
1.First of all, collect the complete syllabus and books to start with.
2.Spend a lot of time with the subject, try learning and practicing each topic separately.
3.Just don’t rush to complete the syllabus, try and understand it first.and practice! That will help you get along with it.
4.Plan a specific time in your schedule to study Organic, we would recommend you to keep Organic precisely in the morning, as it is better to learn that time.
5.Only one thing you need to cram is reactions, you just can’t let that go, so when you make your schedule, keep a specific time to just memorize the reactions.
6.Get a study buddy and discuss your doubts and problems.
7.Prepare Mind maps!
A suggestion, you might find interesting YouTube lectures regarding Organic Chemistry, Animated ones. Just search for animated Organic chemistry lectures and you’re done, It will give you concept clarity.
I guess that was all in our list, wait, the most important one is still your hard work, remember, “Who you’re is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for”, so work hard and get what you want!
Good luck!
