Today, we are going to talk about strategies to ace the MCAT Organic Chemistry section. Many students struggled with Organic Chemistry in college and assume that they need to know all of the organic chemistry they learned in undergrad in order to succeed on the exam. In addition, many students who have taken practice exams find themselves getting tripped up by questions that seem to require long mechanisms or memorization of specific details to answer correctly.
If that sounds like you, you are not alone and we are here to help.
In this video, we'll go over where you can expect to see Organic Chemistry on the MCAT, in addition to study strategies you can use to attack complex problems. My goal for this video is for you to walk away understanding which topics are on the exam, how to approach Organic Chemistry problems you encounter on the exam, and how to study your mistakes so you can achieve your best score on the MCAT.
