I'm guessing you haven't encountered arrow-pushing?

aaronq · Answer

the only way to remember them better is to understand what's going on.

There's too many reactions to memorize, so don't even bother. just have to know based on their  properties, explain using pKa. Charge, resonance, etc

Here is a good site that you can use to learn some of the types of reaction(s) you will learn in Organic Chemistry: http://www.monomerchem.com/display4.html I would say that you learn about 45% of those throughout your whole organic chemistry year. There might be a few more, maybe 65% but they don't often say the name of the reaction, but most of those reactions you do cover in either your year of organic chemistry OR you learn about 90% of them in advance organic chemistry (upper division) OR some upper division organic mechanisms course because some of them do get complex. And these do not show detailed mechanisms.
