The MCAT will require you to know the difference between strong and weak acids and bases.
You’ll not only have to recognize the weak acids and bases, but MEMORIZE the standard list of strong acids and bases listed on the cheat sheet below.
This cheat sheet below is meant to accompany the MCAT Acid/Base Tutorial Series (math focus) as well as the Orgo Acid/Base Tutorial series (trends/concept focus).

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 and confidently convert from one unit or dimension to another!

When it comes to cellular reproduction/division on the MCAT you must be very familiar with Mitosis and Meiosis. This includes what occurs in each of the phases, the products of each pathway, and the key differences between mitosis and meiosis.
This MCAT study guide cheat sheet is meant to serve as a visual guide to help you understand each pathway. If you find it helpful please share with your friends using the social media buttons above.
Glycolysis is one of the key pathways required for the MCAT. Not only does this pathway provide a means to break down glucose, glycolysis also connects many other pathways and reactions that occur inside the cell.
This cheat sheet is meant to help you connect the steps within the glycolysis pathway to help you understand the changes that occur and the energy used/invested along the way.
When it comes to amino acids on the MCAT you have to know… everything. But everything quickly gets overwhelming. And after a quick search I didn’t find any good amino acid charts so I’ve decided to create one for you. Download a copy to your computer and another to your phone.
When you find yourself waiting for the bus or on line at Starbucks, forget Facebook, study this guide instead.

When it comes to Punnett Squares in MCAT Genetics, that last thing you want to do is write out a complete 4 square or 16 square diagram for a Monohybrid or Dihybrid Cross. However, without the diagram you may find yourself unable to calculate phenotype or genotype percents or ratios.
That’s why I’ve put together this detailed guide to Punnett Square values. Study the drawings for the sake of UNDERSTANDING then memorize the logic behind every ratio. This is how you ensure that you get it, retain it, and know how to use it during your MCAT without wasting precious time.

The driving force behind MCAT Physics is force, no pun intended. Not only do you have to know concepts and equations, but you must also know how to relate force to kinematics, work, energy, and just about every other topic. But you must be wary of memorization. Instead focus on learning, practicing, deriving and UNDERSTANDING.

One of the more exciting physics topics covers circuits including resistors and capacitors. With just a few confusing equations, this topic is easily mastered if you’re comfortable working through the calculations and concepts. To help you make sense of it all I’ve put together an MCAT Circuits study guide cheat sheet below.
Part particular attention to the resistor and capacitor equations when in series or in parallel.

Torque is one of those ‘tricky’ topics that shows up in the MCAT Physics sciences section. While not tested too heavily, it’s still important for you to have a solid understanding of the concepts and equations, especially when it comes to converting between the linear kinematics you are so familiar with, to the angular formulas and equations.
To help you keep track of these concepts I’ve put together this quick study guide cheat sheet. Please share this with your pre-med friends.
Sincerely,

Kinematic equations are the foundation to mastering MCAT physics. Yes you have to ‘memorize’ and know the standard formulas, but it goes deeper than that. You have to understand the units, when to use which equation, and be VERY comfortable applying these concepts to the more advanced Physics topics on the MCAT.
To help you break down the kinematic equations I’ve put together this free cheat sheet which goes along with my MCAT Translational Motion Tutorial Videos. Save a copy to your computer and print another to study on the go. But don’t keep this to yourself.
I put a great deal of time/effort into this guide and will greatly appreciate if you share on Facebook/Twitter/Google+… using the links above.
