The good news: The math on the exam is not difficult and can be mastered with sufficient practice. This means that all calculations, regardless of the section of the MCAT, have to be completed mentally. Is there a lot of math on the MCAT? What math is covered on the […]
There were, in fact, unique features to Einstein’s brain that may be the answer to how he was so smart. Some parts of the brain were thicker than average, which could mean he had a stronger connection between the two hemispheres. In 1947, he co-authored a top-secret paper on what […]
in clinical research, and in collaboration with Cardozo Law, an M.S. in bioethics. Yeshiva University is an affiliate of Einstein, under whose auspices the College of Medicine was originally founded. Einstein became an independent degree-granting institution in 2019. Is Albert Einstein part of Yeshiva University? Yeshiva University continued to grant […]

Some constants include: acceleration of gravity on Earth. density of water. Coulomb’s constant. elementary charge. speed of sound in air. speed of light in vacuum. Is the MCAT mostly memorization? The MCAT is not a memorization test. Let me be more specific: it’s much more about recall than it is […]
The earliest we recommend taking the MCAT is the end of the summer between your sophomore and junior year of college. In that case, we recommend beginning to study no earlier than the spring of your sophomore year. There are a few caveats to keep in mind if you plan […]

The MCAT may test your knowledge of all three, so be sure to memorize each form. There are 8 nonpolar amino acids: alanine, phenylalanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and methionine. How do I remember the amino acids for the MCAT? Three acronym mnemonics for remembering the amino acids Non-polar […]
yea, they dont give you any formulas in the sense that theres not a sheet at the beginning with a list of physics or chemistr formulas. However, they do often times have formulas in the passages (usually really intimidating and convoluted) that you are supposed to use for the problems. […]
While the MCAT does not permit the use of a calculator, the exam still contains questions that will require mathematical calculations—particularly in the context of physics and chemistry. Fine-tuning your math skills can thus significantly improve your ability to work through these test questions. Do you get equations on the […]
Yep. It’s actually a good bit of the focus. Human phys, biochem, cell bio, and genetics are the big subjects that frequently show up. Do I need to take genetics before the MCAT? It’s recommended to do the first year of biology, but then before you take the MCAT, try […]
Can you chew gum during the MCAT? Nope. You are not allowed to chew gum when you are in the physical testing room in front of the computer. You can, however, chew gum when you are on any of the three breaks. What happens if you chew gum during a […]
No, physicians don’t use calculus in clinical practice. BUT calc is required by a great many schools (more than 10-20), and with good reason. Not only does calc help explain physics and chemistry, but it is essentially a course in thinking. Is calculus necessary for Doctor? Summary: Students may feel […]
One of the skills assessed on the MCAT is “Data-based and Statistical Reasoning”; therefore, if these concepts are not covered in other courses that you may take at the college, it is recommended that you take a statistics course to prepare you for the content on the MCAT. What math […]
Between the GRE and the MCAT, the MCAT is widely regarded as the more difficult of the two exams. It’s much longer and more focused on content knowledge than the GRE, which is more focused on general aptitude in certain areas. Many pre-med students say they take 300-350 hours to […]
