What to look out for in UMD BCHM 461

    • Exam Practice

    ~50% of UMD chemistry professors share a portion of their old exams and keys for students to practice (but not their complete exam set). Only 1 professor shares their complete exam set. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to find out who that is!

      Course Content

    The essence of BCHM 461 is biology, gen chem, and orgo rolled into a horrible burrito.

      Re-Introduced Orgo Material

    Be careful which biochem professors you pick because an Orgo focused professor like Dr. Dixon will reintroduce a lot of Orgo 1 and 2 material you wish you never laid eyes on again.

      Homework Points

    UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.

  • Study Tips for BCHM 461 Exams

    Study the RIGHT Material

    There are no common exams or finals at UMD. This means you should prioritize studying with classmates who are taking the SAME professor.

    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.

    Don't Cram

    Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
