Course Syllabus
Session 1
Science Questions & Physics Content Review
We go over some of the most common science questions asked on the MCAT, and the best way to approach these types of questions. Then we go over some of the most common physics questions asked on the MCAT, and discuss the best strategies for reviewing physics content.
Session 2
CARS Overview & Physical Chem Review
We break down this unique section of the exam: timing, question types, and resources. We tackle a couple of sample passages, and go over the reasoning process for CARS questions. Then we review some of the highest-yield physical chemistry concepts.
Session 3
Reaction Chemistry & Organic Chemistry
We finish our review of general chemistry with a look at the chemistry concepts which relate more to biochemistry, such as rates, thermodynamics, and acids/bases. Then we review all the reactions and concepts the MCAT wants you to know from Organic Chemistry.
Session 4
Psych/Soc Overview & Biochemistry Intro
We first introduce Psych/Soc section strategies, and we discuss some of the resources needed to do well on this section. Then we introduce the Bio/Biochem section of the test, and go over the most important biochemistry concepts: amino acids and proteins
Session 5
Enzymes & Metabolism
In this session, we go over all there is to know about enzymes: function, regulation, and kinetics. Then we tackle metabolism and its various mechanisms.
Session 6
Psych/Soc Review & DNA/RNA
We do some additional psych/soc review, then we tackle all aspects of DNA and genetics: structure, replication, and transcription/translation, as well as mitosis and meiosis.
Session 7
Cell Biology & CARS Review
We discuss the elements and features of cells that the MCAT likes to focus on. Then we do more advanced CARS review, with a particular focus on tough, ambiguous questions.
Session 8
Physiology Review
This session is dedicated to reviewing all the different physiological systems—cardio, respiratory, muscle, endocrine etc—and what the MCAT wants you to know about each of them.
Session 9
Full-Length Walk-Through: Chem/Phys
We walk through an entire full-length exam together as I share my reasoning process, starting with the Chem/Phys section. Afterwards, we debrief and discuss the exam and its content.
Session 10
Full-Length Walk-Through: CARS
We continue our walk through an entire full-length exam together as I share my reasoning process, with the CARS section. Afterwards, we debrief and discuss the exam and its content.
Session 11
Full Length Walk-Through: Bio/Biochem
We continue our walk through an entire full-length exam together as I share my reasoning process, with the Bio/Biochem section. Afterwards, we debrief and discuss the exam and its content.
Session 12
Full-Length Walk-Through: Psych/Soc
We finish our walk through an entire full-length exam together as I share my reasoning process, with the Psych/Soc section. Afterwards, we debrief and discuss the exam and its content.
