This was an integrated class covering 3 semesters in one. General chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. It was an accelerated nightmare. Anyone a chemistry whiz around here? Stuff is tough.
I go about as far as CH3CH2OH. Are you going to start cooking meth now? Congrats on the hard work. I got a 38% in biochemistry and ended up with a B in the class.
I'd say chemistry was my stronger suit back in the day; orgo is especially tough on one's memory. First you have the nomenclature issue, and then a few hundred reaction types. I don't know if things are still like this, but as late as a decade ago, good undergrad tracks for graduate programs in biological sciences and medicine designed orgo to be a 'weed out' course. It's supposed to be hard enough to nix unqualified folks. Orgo sucks. I enjoyed biochem quite a bit. Chromosomes are the Jews of the cell world; diversity is our strength goy: *gets cancer.

My son is in advanced chemistry honors he wanted me to take him out of it and put him in an easier class. I told him if you go into an easier class you'll be in a classroom full of niggers.

No but you're not taking tests when you get a job so you can cheat all you want to get things right. Cheat as in have a book right next to you or a webpage, etc...
I know basic stuff relating to combustion and chemical kinetics. The process of species formation, propagation, rate limiting steps and things like that. I know some stuff about lubrication and metallurgy. But most of that stuff is regarding surface finish more than chemistry.
85% is a decent grade, good job. My kids are in college and would love to take some of those classes again just to refresh. Those chemical equations are like algebra, so if you can do one you can the other.
Go work for the oil industry. No one else wants to so you'll have your pick up jobs and make tons of money and you'll keep us all with gas to put in our cars which we're going to need with these dumb assholes.
I did good at the terminology but the math killed me, I don't know why. I'm good at math but I struggled with chemistry math. I haven't done it since high school, I hated it so much.

I was given a choice and took physics instead of chemistry. They're both a hell of a class but you can have a lot of fun once you learn it all.

“Oh! Balancing electrons!” I exclaimed as I licked my lips; “I remember this!”
I looked at it for 30 seconds before realizing I had forgotten everything, despite my A in the class just the year before, it was all for not.
