Common topics tested on MCAT?

[medhopeful64]

Just wondering if there tends to be certain topics that the mcat really likes to test (ie, which gen chem topics are most likely tested, along with the other science sections). I need to prioritize my studying since I am writing in about 2 weeks and feeling very nervous

 

Thanks in advance.

probably these:

 

translational motion

simple machines

electrochemistry

mass and moles, and percent yield

you'll be given a mechanism, and asked to apply it

bond energy

genetics

glycolysis (can't give details here)

kreb's cycle

basic physiology of the heart/cardiopulmonary system

hmm, electrochem? I thought they liked acids/bases and thermochem a lot too...ok better get cracking, thanks for the input. Any more would be nice

I would bet there would be definitely some Acid base chemistry on every mcat test in some form or another and most likely some electrochem. Thats a trend ive noticed for sure.
