Organic was harder for me, but I was on a medication that impairs your short term memory for both semesters, so memorizing anything at all was a challenge for me.

Biochem just makes sense pretty easily. I took it over the summer and even though we still fit in all of the chapters normally covered during the semester and I took it with supposedly the hardest professor who still teaches it at my school, it just came pretty easily. I mean I still studied a lot of course, but I never memorized anything other than the amino acids and when it came time for the test there was no issue. My professor for biochem was a lot more focused on problem solving, though.

In comparison, I got a B- in orgo 1, a B in orgo 2, and an A in biochem.
