123coco Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I've read on some post that in BS section genetics and micro-biology passages tend to be on the actual MCAT....I was wondering what passages have been re-appearing on the PS section?

Martin Louis the King Jr. Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 You should definitely master Kinematics. Some 70%(don't quote me on this tho) of the questions will be on projectile, pendulum, conservation of energy, i.e. PE+KE=K etc.. Hope that helps Cheers!!

Martin Louis the King Jr. Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 When it comes to inorganic chemistry again master Acids and Bases, Solutions i.e. Ksp, Kc, Rate and what factors influence them and Gas Law. These are constants all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helpsCheers!! i had very little kinematics on mine. mostly the electricity and magnetism stuff as well lenses. its hard to know what the patterns are. the whole month of july was pretty much orgo heavy, apparently this has cooled down. its real tough to say, safe bet is to know everything as much as possible.

thatonekid Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 When it comes to inorganic chemistry again master Acids and Bases, Solutions i.e. Ksp, Kc, Rate and what factors influence them and Gas Law. These are constants all the time...I agree with this. Acids/Bases and solution chemistry always seem to come up in some form. You should definitely master Kinematics. Some 70%(don't quote me on this tho) of the questions will be on projectile, pendulum, conservation of energy, i.e. PE+KE=K etc.. Hope that helpsCheers!! Interesting. I didn't find this to be the case at all! I think there was maybe 1 discrete kinematics question on my MCAT. There were tons of Electromagnatism questions when I wrote the MCAT. I'd also add thermodynamics to the list of things often tested on the PS section of the MCAT (especially the application of the Gibbs free energy equation).

war485 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 equilibrium is huge. Sometimes it's disguised in so many ways, like all this junk about electrochem, but then you're asked about how the reaction would shift if you added something like heat/pressure/reactant/product etc. I also agree with the acid/base stuff, that seems pretty common, if not in PS, it could also show up in BS.

I've taken the test 3x and for some reason i've always had Kinematics packed PS....not a big fun of electromagnetism so i guess i've just been lucky!
