Organic Chemistry Functional Groups: A Complete Guide to Recognizing, Drawing, and Naming (+ Priority Cheat Sheet at bottom) A functional group is a specific group of atoms that helps determine the chemistry and reactivity of the overall molecule. When classifying functional groups, we look at both the specific atoms present, as well as the manner […]
Intro to Orgo Video Series
Organic chemistry professors typically take it for granted that you remember everything you learned in General Chemistry. However, 99% of students forget over break! That is, if you even got to this in your gen-chem course. This video series will give you an in-depth review of the General Chemistry topics that will build a strong Organic […]
3 Steps to Raising Your MCAT Practice Test Scores
Despite testing you on 3 years worth of undergraduate sciences, the MCAT is not an exam of mere content. Instead, it’s an exam that tests your ability to endure, reason through difficult experiments, and make a correct decision under pressure! All those hard sciences, with literally seconds to decide answers. And so, despite all the […]
The Right Time to Take the MCAT
When should you take your MCAT? This is the million dollar question. If your dream is to become a physician, you have to take the MCAT. Medical schools in the United States and Canada require this exam; as well as many schools in the Caribbean, Australia, Europe, even Asia. Since the majority of my MCAT […]
Am I Ready For the MCAT? How to Evaluate
You’ve already invested years into your Med School prerequisites and months into preparing for the MCAT, but are you ready to test?How do you know when you’re ready to take the MCAT? WHEN you take the MCAT is nearly as important as getting the right score. If you’re applying to schools with rolling admissions (most […]
Strong Acids and Bases Cheat Sheet Study Guide
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) […]
MCAT Torque Study Guide Cheat Sheet
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 […]
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 […]
