Organic chemistry learning a-level

I am currently in y13 and i realized I basically dont really know organic chem--i i didnt go about revising it the right way and I have forgotten most of it...how should I relearn it with a deeper understanding and in a smart efficient manner?
Any advise would be appreciated

I think getting used to lone pairs and curly arrows, what they actually mean and what they do in given reactions is really at the heart of organic mechanisms.

My advice is to start with Nucleophilic Substitution mechanisms, learn SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, and then it should really help you to remember the rest of the types of mechanism.

Good luck!
