Still you're doing good. i should get Kaplan too as I am feeling pretty deprived!!
Tell me, do we have to do those "ring structures" like the chemical drawn structures too in biochemistry. I just cannot remember them and going soo back further into organic and inorganic chemistry, I just can't make it work. i left them all previuosly but saw a couple of questions in the exam. Had they given the names, I would have known them but just the structures, totally yeck!! So I don't want to repeat the mistake but do not want to waste my entire life on them also!

The structures that might be important I feel are
1) Nitrogen bases (Adenine, G, C, U, T)
2) Glucose, Galactose, Sucrose, Fructose, Maltose
3) Penicillins (at least where the beta lactam ring is)
What rings did you encounter?

THANKS!
Yes I see the point. I did the bases with structures yesterday. Hope that I remember them.
I remember it was a genetics question and one from the metabolism.
Since I was unable to recognize the "structure", I really couldn't tell you the exact question. But I remember thinking its simple, but I don't know these rings!!
Something like 1+1=2
Ring + ring=another ring!!! :? 
The bad news that they do come, the good news were only 2q!!
