I have a internal test in a weeks time on organic chemistry and I have realised that although I understand the work at the time I seem to be completly stumped when presented with a question to work through. Does anyone have any good rvision sites or tips?

Try working backwards through the question as soon as you understand it in the work. When you get back to your base equation, you have your test question. Try explaining the questions to someone else, or paraphrasing the bookwork in terms that aren't going in circles. The more interesting/weird way you present the material to your brain, the harder it will stick.
