Why does the aamc outline say that the biology on the mcat tests introductory biology content.....

[deleted647690]

haha. I feel like all of the biology I've covered so far in my mcat book has been strictly human physiology. My first year courses didn't cover any of this material. The only reason I know any of this is because of the one semester physiology course that I took...I don't remember covering any of this in any of my other biology courses. I could have just forgotten though.....

The only things I remember covering during intro bio courses were topics like photosynthesis, phylogenetic trees, and meiosis

I am worried about the exact same thing. I haven't taken any physio but I've heard from a lot of people that it helps on the MCAT.

because they try to trick you..
i think they also stated that you only need introductory psych lmao.
I'm a psych major, and there are some terms that I have never learned on the passage questions.

Yeah it definitely does. I'm using the berkeley review materials, and I would be completely screwed if I hadn't taken that class. This is just an extension of the material I learned from that semester

i've never taken physio, but I feel like I'm most prepared for it for the MCAT. Take that as you will
