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
At first glance some of the questions below may appear lengthy or tricky. But if you follow the tricks taught in my MCAT Math Video Series and have memorized the values/calculations on my MCAT Math Cheat Sheet you should be ok.

Thank you so much, I’m going to eventually move to Canada so this is very helpful!
I have no idea how you did #16 even after watching the video! Could you please explain what you are doing when you simplify?
Hello Leah, I am a bit confused on how you solved 16. how did the 39/15 go to 1? I understand you can do 40/10 to get 4 but then from there I am not sure how it goes on. Other than that you’re a pure genius and so much good karma will come back to you for helping everyone out.
good practice thanks
yr sqaure and square root is bit confusing ?
i want more help .. the last question in the practice exercise is tough .. can you plz solve here !
Hi Leah, just started watching your videos, you do a great job but just one question… In question 18 why are you rounding to the 4.9 to a 0.7 and not 5.0?
