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 […]
Circuits in MCAT Physics Study Guide Cheat Sheet
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 […]
MCAT Forces Study Guide Cheat Sheet
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. […]
Punnett Square Ratios MCAT Genetics Guide
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 […]
Mitosis and Meiosis MCAT Cheat Sheet Study Guide
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 […]
Intro to Balancing Redox Reactions
Balancing Redox Reactions is about more than just balancing atoms. Since oxidation and reduction involve the transfer of electrons, we also have to keep an eye on atoms and charge. Of course, if you’re wondering how redox reactions apply to the Galvanic/Voltaic or Electrolytic cell, visit my Electrochemistry series as well. Balancing Redox Equations Video […]
Oxidation and Reduction Reactions
Oxidation and Reduction reactions happen all the time in a living system and thus are very likely to show up on the MCAT. This video walks you through oxidation and reduction reactions, how to figure out the half reactions, and how to easily recognize (+ trick) what gets oxidized and what gets reduced. You’ll also […]
Calculating Oxidation Numbers in MCAT General Chemistry
Oxidation numbers can be confusing, unless you think of it as charge (real or imaginary) associated with each specific atom in a complex molecule or polyatomic ion. Calculating Oxidation Numbers Video 1 – Oxidation Numbers This video shows you how to find and calculate oxidation numbers when given simple and complex molecules or ions. (Watch […]
Force Of Gravity in MCAT Physics (vid 7)
Gravity is a force that we tend to take for granted. On the MCAT, you may see questions asking you to relate gravitational force to other forces. You can expect to see questions on gravity near the surface of the earth as well out away from earth – for example, an astronaut in a spaceship. […]
Why Aiming for a Lower MCAT Score Will Increase Your Med School Chances
Medical School acceptance is very competitive, can aiming for a LOWER MCAT score INCREASE your chances of acceptance? I will argue YES, let me explain why.
