Can anyone tell me if this is what college kids learn in the first year of o-chem, because I'll be taking the AP exam and might get credit for the class. I wouldn't want to miss a whole lot of material and then step right into o-chem 2 or whatever it's called. BTW, if it matters, I plan to mayor in biochem and biophys.
