Need Organic Chemistry Help

[my4helpers]

This week I am finishing up last week of winter break and I am dreading next week. I failed Organic last semester with a D and now I have to retake it again and I am just so stressed. Every time I see my notes or chemistry book from last semester, I literally want to cry. My husband asked me tonight if this was really worth all of the stress. I told him that most careers in the medical field reacquire chemistry so I can't run from it.

Anyway, I need some advice on how to understand this class. I will not use the student service center for tutoring because I need a private tutor. Last spring I took inorganic and seen a tutor up to three times a week. I spent about $1000 that entire semester for tutoring and I just barely got a C. Last semester I did the same thing! I hired a private tutor. My prof. said that he thinks I am getting it but I am having a hard time bring it all together. We had a total of 5 exams and it's funny because the best test score was my final which covered material from the entire semester and I got a 68%. However, our class did have 80 and by the time the final rolled around we had around 20-25 left and this is the easiest prof. He is not teaching this semester and I guess the one who is teaching it this semester is really hard, but he is the only one teaching. I am so stressed, I don't even know what to do. Chemistry is the hardest subject I have had and just to let you know, I have already completed my first semester of Nursing and it doesn't even compare to being as hard as chem was.

Yep. I took inorganic chemistry this past semester and somehow I pulled an A out as my final grade. :uhoh21: I feel like I don't fully understand it enough to take organic chem. Chemistry was my least favorite class so far. Good luck though, I'll be in that boat soon.
