If you are the type of person to read a MCAT CARS passage, but you also did not understand anything that the passage was trying to say, and felt that you could not absorb the "main idea" or underlying theme of the passage, this post is for you! The number one thing to understand with CARS is that the MAIN IDEA isn't the TOPIC of the passage. The passage could be about "modern architecture", or "taxes on unhealthy food", or "renaissance art". These are TOPICS. This is not the

MCAT Blog: Tips for B/B Passages 1) Build your pathway. Build a story about activation, inhibition, induction, suppression, et cetera. 2) Recognize your dependent and independent variables. What is changing, and what is being changed? What is dependent on what? 3) Identify your cell lines of interest, controls, and WT cell lines 4) Recognize what is being changed in the non control cell lines, as well as what results in ends up producing 5) When answering the questions, make

Acid–base titrations are one of the most common (and most tested) topics in chemistry — from high school and AP Chemistry to first-year university and even the MCAT .The good news? Once you understand the logic behind titrations, they become very systematic and predictable. This guide breaks titrations down in a way that actually makes sense. What Is an Acid–Base Titration? An acid–base titration is a lab technique used to determine the unknown concentration of an acid o

One of the biggest surprises for MCAT students is realizing there’s no calculator allowed . Yet the MCAT heavily tests math in C/P and occasionally B/B. The key is learning MCAT-style math , not traditional math. What Kind of Math Is on the MCAT? Common topics include: Scientific notation Exponents and logarithms Unit conversions Ratios and proportions Estimation Graph interpretation 1) Estimate Whenever Possible MCAT answers are usually far apart numerically . Example:3.2 ×

The MCAT Biology and Biochemistry (B/B) section is often considered one of the most content-heavy sections of the exam. While many students assume it’s “just memorization,” high scorers know that success in B/B comes from understanding systems, experimental logic, and data interpretation . This MCAT B/B study guide breaks down exactly how to study efficiently and score higher. What’s Tested in MCAT B/B? The B/B section focuses on high-yield topics like: Cellular and molecular

For many Canadian and US premed students , the MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations (C/P) section is the most stressful part of the exam. Heavy on Physics, Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, and MCAT Math, C/P challenges even high-achieving science students. The good news? It is one of the most straightforward sections to improve with the right strategy! MCAT C/P is less about memorization and more about applying fundamentals under time pressure . It covers: First-year
