MCAT content review can feel like a lot when you’re starting out, and most of us on the team felt the same way! The MCAT scores you in four sections, so we’ve grouped our free study notes the same way. We’d start with the section you feel least sure about, read its most-read notes, then work through its subjects one topic at a time.
