It is very important to earn great grades in your organic chemistry classes, especially if you plan to pursue a career in medicine or other science-based fields when you graduate from college. Even if you don't plan to pursue a career in science, you should strive to earn a great score in every class to keep your GPA high and later feel proud of your college transcript. Since learning organic chemistry can be tough, Varsity Tutors' Learning Tools offers many organic chemistry study help activities, including free flashcards online.

You likely have a jam-packed schedule and wish you could squeeze in some studying when you have just a few free minutes and don't have your organic chemistry textbook or other study materials handy. The organic chemistry flashcards offer a great way to study during these situations. While you can always practice with them on your home or dorm computer, you can also access them from any tablet or smartphone. That makes them easy to study when you are on-the-go and have nothing with you other than your phone or tablet.

The Learning Tools Flashcards for organic chemistry cover many concepts you may need to learn in your introductory or advanced organic chemistry classes. To focus your studying on only the concepts you need to learn right now, just click on one of the smaller “concept decks” that the full deck of organic chemistry flashcards is broken down into. The full deck is also great to practice when preparing for a final exam or when you want to study concepts that have yet to be covered in class, so you can get a head-start on learning them.

The organic chemistry review flashcards can help you study laboratory practices, organic concepts, reaction types, reactions by product, redox chemistry, stereochemistry, hydrocarbon reactants, and many others.

In addition to the ready-made organic chemistry flashcards, another aspect of this Learning Tool you can use to make studying easier is the flashcards maker. Use this tool to create your own flashcards that you can then save and study later in your free time, just like the ready-made ones. To use the flashcards creator, just click on the “Create Tests & Flashcards” icon. This will lead you directly to the flashcards builder where you can begin making your own deck.

First, give your new deck a name that will help you to later remember the topics it covers. You will then be provided with blank flashcards templates you can enter your own organic chemistry questions and answers into. You can enter questions based on your class notes, questions that appeared on recent quizzes and tests, or questions that appear on any other study materials you want to be able to practice in an easier and handier format.

Don't delete each deck after you are tested on it in your class, because if you make several decks throughout the semester, they can come in handy when studying for your final exam. Also, if you are creating your own questions, be sure to make them challenging! Don't make choosing the right multiple-choice answer too easy, but instead, make the additional answer options similar to the correct answer, so the right one isn't too obvious!
