Dimensional Analysis & Unit Conversions: Video 2. This video walks you through multiple dimensional analysis examples using easy MCAT Math to help you build confidence in the simple ‘given x ratio’ conversions trick. (Watch on YouTube: Unit Conversions Pt 2. Click cc on bottom right for video transcription.) Links & Resources Mentioned In This Video: […]
When it comes to dimensional analysis or unit conversions, you don’t have time to waste. This applies to your chemistry/physics class and especially on the MCAT. This video walks you through the foundation for my Given x Ratio trick to help you convert any and all units that may show up on the MCAT. No […]
Unit Conversions or Dimensional Analysis doesn’t have to be so confusing! The cheat sheet below is a short list of important units, prefix values and conversions to memorize for the MCAT. (You should also memorize these for your chemistry and physics classes) Start with this Tutorial Video: Unit Conversions Series Part 1 on how you can quickly […]
As an MCAT tutor I’m constantly telling my students to practice ‘simple math without a calculator’. The reply? Where can I find more practice problems? Since good resources are hard to find, I decided to write up my own MCAT math practice set NO Calculator Allowed! PDF Solution set at the end of the quiz […]
While the science portion of the MCAT is designed to test you on your Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Orgo abilities, you may find yourself faced with a series of math calculations, and you CANNOT use a calculator. I cover a great detail of MCAT math tips tricks and shortcuts in my MCAT Math Without A […]
This video picks up from MCAT Math Part 8 – Logs and Negative Logs showing you how to solve questions where the log value is provided. Instead you’re asked to solve for the anti-log value in questions relating to ion concentration and Ka values. Anti-logs, just like logarithms, are difficult to calculation without a calculator […]
When it comes to mathematical calculations on the MCAT shortcuts are the way to go. But with most shortcut you have the option of falling back on the long yet proven pen-and-paper calculations to get your results. But this is not the case when it comes to logarithms. Logs or negative logs, unlike multiplication, division […]
Trigonometry is a topic that sends many pre-med students screaming for the hills, especially when it comes to applying sine, cosine, and tangent values to angles stated in an MCAT style question. The average student will memorize ‘radical 2 over 2’ as the sin or cos value for a 45 degree angle, but how on […]
Not every difficult MCAT question is inherently tough. You may find yourself faced with a potentially easy physics or chemistry MCAT question, only made tough by the detailed and tedious math required. This is especially true when fractions are involved, in the form of dimensional analysis, ratios, proportions, or finding percent values. The math is […]
