I am math/physics oriented - I made A’s in physical chemistry and B’s in organic chemistry. Thus I found both oChem and biochem to be rather ridiculous in the amount of things you had to memorize. At least in oChem there was a little logic behind everything. In biochem, there is no rhyme or reason (“it evolved that way”) so it’s straight-up memorization. Needless to say, the fact that there were no equations to solve drove me crazy.
