It outlines the MCAT’s four sections and scoring ranges, summarizes test-day scheduling, and explains passage-based versus discrete question formats. The guide also provides physics topic coverage—motion, forces, work and energy, waves and sound, fluids, electricity and magnetism, circuits, optics, and atomic/nuclear structure—followed by practical strategies for time management, concept mastery, and effective test-taking.","| 01: Guide To MCAT Physics |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Key MCAT Terms |  |  |  | MCAT Science Questions |  |\n| MCAT: The Medical College Admissions Test is a standardized exam required to gain admission to medical school.\u003Cbr>MCAT Courses: The new four-sections MCAT requires seven college courses – general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, psychology and sociology. Passage-Based Question: A question relating to information in an accompanying passage. The answer mayor may not be in the passage.\u003Cbr>Discrete Question: A question that has a topic independent of a passage or other questions with four possible answer options.\u003Cbr>Test Sections: (1) Chemical and physical foundations (2) Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (3) Biological and Biochemical Foundations (4) Psychological, Social and Biological foundations.\u003Cbr>General Physics: MCAT requires students to take two semesters of college-level physics for pre-med. Computer-based Test: MCAT is 100% to be taken on computer with on-screen timer and but no calculator provided. |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  | | |\n|  |  |  |  | Passage-Based Questions Discrete Questions\u003Cbr>(75%) (25%) |  |\n|  |  |  |  | General Physics on the MCAT |  |\n|  |  |  |  | Test Coverage\u003Cbr>Physics questions are in one science section – physical and chemical foundations.
