Having just finished with Organic I and II, I can tell you that it's not easy. What helped me the most is making flashcards. No matter what it was I put it on a little card and carried it with me wherever I went, so that I was always reminding myself. For the tests...it was a big help that the teacher had a lot of samples. It gave me an idea of what to study in particular, so I wouldn't feel overwhelmed. Before every test in organic, I did about 5 practice tests (at least) before hand. If your teacher doesn't do this already, ask him about it. The last thing was I watched a series of tapes, called the Deep Fried World of Organic Chemistry...now, I know it sounds corny, but those tapes were heaven sent when there was a concept that I just couldn't grasp. They have all kind of techniques that help you break it down. They worked for me...I pulled an A in both semesters. Keep praying and asking the Lord to help you understand, that above all others is the best advice I could give. Good Luck
