man that sucks 
i havent done it yet but my friend who goes to another school says its a complete nightmare, not looking forward to it 
but there are some links in the forum that go onto a teacher's website i think, and he's put up alot of helpful diagrams, i downloaded them quite a while ago. You should have a look!
I dunno what else you could do though.. summarise as much information onto an A4 page? that normally helps me with things that i find hard to get to grips with

I have just started Unit 3 with my class and have just started putting some things on my website for them to use. You're all welcome to have a look.
Gordon Watson's Chemistry Resources
There is an (incomplete) Interactive Reaction Pathways Diagram done in Flash (19 Mb). See web page for full description of what it does.
Permeating Aspects contains a complete set of Reaction Mechanisms along with 2 stripped down versions to allow you to practice writing these yourselves.
There is a chicken/egg situation here. I'm highlighting these things at the beginning of the Unit so my pupils will tune into them better as they progress through the Systematic Organic section. The questions asked, however, would be easier to answer after having done the Systematic Organic section. I can get round it by being there to help them. Just be prepared to be flexible.
Most of the rest of Unit 3 is in a mixture of formats, not all of which are ready to be posted on my website, but I'll put up what I can as soon as possible.
Cheers
