Reaction pathways??

With the ever-pressing nature of the chapter 10 & 11 test, I was wondering if anybody had any good tips on how to memorise organic reaction pathways because I physically cannot seem to just memorise it. Like it just doesn't stick and I keep forgetting.
Thanks!!

Which reaction pathway do you need to learn?

but anyway, in general, I would recommend:
-Learn the pathway one chemical reaction at a time
-Move away from just memorising to understanding
-Understanding the pathway: Why must each step occur?
-What conditions are required for that step? Why must this condition be present?
-Under different conditions could the reaction still occur? how does it impact the equilibrium?
