The Biology topics on the MCAT comprise the majority of the Biological Sciences section. These passages are designed to test modern biological concepts presented in a human context. For the new MCAT the Biology passages have evolved significantly causing many materials currently on the market to be outdated. Now, expect to decipher experimental passages taken from peer reviewed journals. Our course thoroughly covers all topics published by the AAMC as testable material. New for the second edition is a stronger focus on Genetics, as this is a topic that predominates on the new version of the exam. The primary objective for this course is to establish a strong foundation of the tested material and to help students develop their ability to think critically.

There is much variation from exam to exam on how much Organic Chemistry is tested. Some versions of the exam may only have one passage, while others may have four. Most commonly, you will find either two or three passages. The tested Organic Chemistry topics have also evolved. This course has been designed to give you the most up to date information as published by the AAMC as material tested by the exam. New for the second edition is a stronger focus on Stereochemistry, Aldehydes, Ketones and Alcohols, as these topics tend to predominate on the new version of the exam. The primary objective for this course is to establish a strong foundation of the tested material and to help students feel confident in correctly solving Organic Chemistry problems.

The Physics portion of the Physical Sciences section is often dreaded by most students. Since physics uses mathematics to describe our physical world, questions can often be intimidating. The Physics concepts tested by the MCAT have not changed much, but the way in which they are tested has. Some versions of the MCAT focus heavily on problem solving, while other versions focus more on concepts. Physics passages on the new exam are often based on current technologies. Our lectures dissect each physics topic to assure that you can apply them to any setting presented to you. The primary objective for this course is to restructure the way you think about Physics, so in the heat of the exam, you feel comfortable answering any physics question given.

The General Chemistry topics on the MCAT comprise half of the Physical Sciences section. Of all the science sections on the new the MCAT, the General Chemistry section tends to have the most tricks. You will find that General Chemistry questions tend to focus equally between problem solving and concept based problems. Our course lectures spend a significant amount of time discussing common traps that most test takers generally fall for. New for the second edition is a stronger focus on Stiochiometry and Experiment Based Chemistry, these topics tend to predominate on the new version of the exam. The primary objective for this course is to establish a strong foundation of the tested material and to help students feel confident with all General Chemistry problems.
