ACS Final Study Guide:

Although the problems provided in your text should be sufficient preparation for the Organic 2 final, which will be an ACS final-a comprehensive final covering the entire year, the American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Education Examinations institute provides a study guide (Organic Chemistry Study Guide) and practice exam to aid in your preparation . A copy of this book is placed on reserve in Hendrick library during spring semester.
