Use of the ACS Study Guide for the Final Exam for Chem 200

Your Final Exam in Chem 200 is not written by the American Chemical Society (ACS), but it is patterned very, very closely in format to the ACS Final Exam written for those who have taken TWO semesters of Organic Chemistry. It is therefore useful to use the ACS Study Guide as a review for the material you have covered in this first semester of Organic Chemistry. Below are the sections in the study guide that pertain to you as a Chem 200 student. Note that the study guide does NOT cover all the topics! It is far more important to go over your old exams FIRST. Note also that your Final Exam will contain about 60 multiple choice questions AND one or two questions that require writing out by hand, mechanisms, resonance structures and/or possibly multi-step synthesis. You are expected to know how to write "curved arrows" and "fish-hook arrows" in your mechanisms and resonance structures.
