sisyphus Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I couldn't find the topics that were removed from the pre-2007 MCAT. To my understanding, aromatic compounds are removed from organic chem. Anything else? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny_jan Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 im pretty sure alkenes from orgo were removed as well along with your sanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixe Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Benzene reactions were removed. Greater concentration on genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrugby Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. So there's no point in studying electrophillic addition reactions of alkenes, etc..!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisyphus Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/preparing/start.htm I know they tell you what to study for. But they didn't say what was DIFFERENT from the previous exams. My question is what topics have they ommitted from the previous test! (I have an old study book and want to know what topics are removed so I don't have to review them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan008 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 the topics you HAVE to know are the ones on the AAMC website - the rest you don't have to worry about the topics that are not on the list, but I would still go over them and make sure the information is not completely new. It seems like anything could appear in the passage - it would be explained but most likely not very clearly. I had super weird orgo on my Aug 14th MCAT - almost no outside knowledge required but it was HARD. Just be ready for anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrugby Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hey Tan, When you said you had orgo that required almost no outside knowledge, that seems to imply that someone who did not ever learn orgo could maybe just understand the passage and figure out the answers.... or am I totally interpreting you wrong? Or do you just mean that basic organic chemistry understanding (e.g.. bonding, electron delocalization, etc. but not necessarily reaction mechanism knowledge) would be enough? To be honest, I'm having a lot of trouble with orgo, so it being more passage based, even though it is harder, would prob. be a good thing for me...
