What's your main area/s of weakness?

Hi guys, my weakest are would have to be with mass spec and polymer questions. I don't fell confident in tackling mass spec probably cause i lack a solid grasp of the concepts. With polymers i have trouble identifying the monomers.

What do you guys recommend i do to improve in these areas? Any suggestions on where i can find good practice questions (like which study guides,cause i got 8 guides but just don't know where to start) or websites which provide explanations etc? I only know of chemguide.co.uk

Cheers

Hard work pays off. If you don't think so, you're not working hard enough.

I'm finding biomolecules pretty hard, because I have an awful memory and can't remember the names, linkages etc. I miss stoichiometry.

Its mostly expression for me. Like I know my content but sometimes there are questions where it's hard for me to comprehend, and hence my answer isn't expressed the best

I used to find Mass Spec hard, but then I read through this site: http://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysismenu.html#top.

Really thorough explanations, makes you understand the M+1 and M+2 peaks very well, highly recommend, would say it's one of my stronger areas now :).
