Yup I'm doing it.

The whole booklet will be useful but I assume a lot of the organic tests (e.g 2,4DNP, ammoniacal silver nitrate etc.) will be required plus the colours of transition metal preciptates/solutions.

For the edexcel practical chemistry 6A paper - Question 4 - You are required to plan a procedure "involving organic techniques"

some 1 help me out here. what do they refer to by organic techniques

organic technique will be something like, recrystalisation, or purification, could also be a distillation/fractional distillation,,, It will not be something like "show how to turn an alchohol into a carboxylic

Yep , remeber if the devising question will always have something to do with practical techniques.

If they ask you how to purify a certain compound you shouldn't write react it with x and then y.

Your answer should be based on practical techniques like filtration/distallation/ crystallisation/heating under reflux.
