half_jack Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I know I need organic chem and general chem but how about biochemistry? Do I need it to do well on the MCAT? Also, I did NOT take physics in highschool and my program requires to take the 1st of 2 intro physics courses. I want to know if you guys think I need to take the second one anyways for the MCAT. Here are the descriptions of the courses: 1st (and required) course: A first university physics course primarily for students not intending to pursue a Specialist or Major program in Physical or Mathematical Sciences. Topics include: momentum, energy, force, work, power, angular momentum, classical kinematics & dynamics, friction, thermal properties, gases, liquids, viscosity. 2nd course: The second university physics course primarily for students not intending to pursue a Specialist or Major program in Physical or Mathematical Sciences. Topics include: oscillations, waves, sound, light, electricity, magnetism, special relativity. So what do you think? Will just the first one suffice?

rmorelan Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 The scope of Biochemistry covered on the MCAT is nothing beyond first year General Biology. As for the physics, taking the second course would be really helpful, as all of that material is covered on the MCAT. Yeah electricity, optics, sounds,.... is definitely fair game for the test. You can learn it on your own, but to do your best you will have to learn it at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
