What to look out for in UMD CHEM 241
-
Continue Learning
You should take Orgo 2 immediately after CHEM 241 Orgo 1. Taking a break from the Orgo “mindset” is very disruptive to your chemistry education and you’ll experience a painful learning curve getting back into the electron pushing mindset.

Past Exam Keys
Tutor with me to gain access to my extensive CHEM 241 exam keys. Most professors do not share enough old exams and students lack relevant practice problems.
-
Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!

Secret Curve Cutoffs
Only 1 professor doesn't grade CHEM 241 on a curve - Dr. Davis - who has a set cutoff system. The professors who grade on a curve refuse to share their cutoff with students.
Study Tips for CHEM 241 Exams
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
Ask Questions
Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.
Keep Going
Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.
Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 241?
Exam Tips and Tricks - Get tips and secret resources used by UMD professors. Know UMD's peculiarites and learn specific strategies to study for exams.
Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 241 UMD professors create their own exam questions. ~25% of professors pull from outside sources (such as textbooks) that students are not aware of. As part of 1-on-1 tutoring, I’ll prioritize your access to resources, so you know which questions to study and most likely tested in class.
Relentless Class Pace - You start learning 2 to 20 (yikes!) new reactions from day 1 and it does not end until finals. Students frequently complain that they have to memorize 200+ reactions by finals. As a tutor, I will provide you with custom flowcharts that will help you quickly understand all 200+ reactions.
Jog Your Memory - I frequently tutor CHEM 241 students who claim they “forgot” all their Orgo 1, and their common attribute is taking a semester break after Orgo 1. Tutor with me 1-on-1 for shortcuts to quickly regain your Orgo 1 knowledge (it’s easier than you think!).
