Prospective dental and ophthalmology students must take challenging exams as part of their admissions process; the Dental Admission Test (DAT) and Optometry Admission Test (OAT). These tests evaluate various academic and perceptual abilities, as well as basic scientific understanding. Organic chemistry is a complicated subject, but it is critical to thoroughly understand it before your exam. Organic Chemistry Odyssey gives detailed explanations of various topics, making it the perfect companion to your DAT Destroyer and OAT Destroyer, an OAT and DAT test study guide.
What is Organic Chemistry?
Organic chemistry studies reactions, structures, properties, preparation, and composition of carbon-containing compounds. Organic chemistry was initially limited to the study of naturally occurring compounds but now includes human-made compounds such as plastic. A basic understanding of organic chemistry helps you pass your exam and provides you with a solid foundation for learning scientifically-based concepts you will explore throughout higher education.
