As a student
premed you must take the MCAT or Medical College Admission Test before applying
to medical school. The
first step to prepare for this new survey is to understand exactly what is
covered.
2015 MCAT now has 4 sections of the exam. While each has a focal or two scientists, much overlap of science from one section to the following:
Section
1: chemical and physical foundations of biological systems.2015 MCAT now has 4 sections of the exam. While each has a focal or two scientists, much overlap of science from one section to the following:
This is the new
version of the chemistry and physics section. This
section will test
30% General Chemistry
25% Biochemistry
Physics 25%
15% of organic chemistry
5% Biology
But not only are there different subjects, you will also come across a single pass on more of a science.
Section 2: critical analysis and reasoning abilities aka CARS.

Section 2: critical analysis and reasoning abilities aka CARS.
This section is
longer and more difficult compared to the old verbal section. Passages
include:
50% Humanities
50% Social Sciences
Section 3: biological and biochemical Living Systems Fundamentals
50% Humanities
50% Social Sciences
Section 3: biological and biochemical Living Systems Fundamentals
Section of
Biological Sciences is to test the biological application of almost all the
sciences necessary for the MCAT. Fortunately physics is omitted. This
section will test the following:
65% Biology
25% Biochemistry
5% General Chemistry
5% of organic chemistry
As you can see, this section biochemical about it is new for the MCAT from 2015.
Section 4: Psychological, biological basis of social behavior.
65% Biology
25% Biochemistry
5% General Chemistry
5% of organic chemistry
As you can see, this section biochemical about it is new for the MCAT from 2015.
Section 4: Psychological, biological basis of social behavior.
This material has
never been tested on the MCAT. This
section covers the following topics:
Psychology 65%
30% Sociology
5% Biology
As you can see, there is quite a wealth of information that is being tested in the new MCAT.

full year of general chemistry
One or two semesters of organic chemistry
One or two semesters of Biochemistry
At least one full year of biology higher level. Additional advanced courses in biology are also recommended
So that covers the hardware, but that sections on the actual exam? Watch this video to learn about the distribution of sections of individual tests, including both the section and the section number of passages and questions.
