MCAT and Neurobiology?

[V_K]

Has anyone taken neurobiology before having taken the MCAT and found the course to be helpful?

I will not have time to take neurobiology before my MCAT, but I would definitely open up a textbook and learn a couple of things...

Thanks

I took neurobiology after the MCAT and only the stuff covered in the first 2 weeks of class would've been useful for MCAT (even that was overkill). The rest of the semester was way out of scope for that test.

I was a neuro major and took a few of my core neuro courses before the MCAT. Doesn't really help, it's out of scope for the MCAT.

I wonder if neuro classes will be more useful for the new MCAT.

The amount of neuro you will need to know for the MCAT is minimal. Basically understanding the basics of the neuron and action potentials is as far as it goes.

Not essential. Take biochem.

Okay thank you everyone!

Take NeuroBio if you're interested in it but, like others have said, don't expect it to help with the MCAT
