Courses on MCAT

[MacdaddyDaniels]

What classes are related to MCAT material. I would like to know so I can put extra effort into those classes I have left and know when I should take the MCAT. I am assuming gen chem, organic chem, bio and physics A and B are on it. Is there any other classes? perhaps upper level biology that would help?

Upper level biology (physiology) would help; genetics, microbiology would also make your life easier as far as biology questions go.

Biochemistry would probably make organic chem easier, although I found that I didn't need to study for the organic chem section of the MCAT at all and never missed any questions, after taking a year of the organic pre-requisite.

Not sure how much would help with physics and chemistry that your typical pre-med would take. Physical chem might help because that's essentially a higher-level general/inorganic chem (I think). Some engineering classes might help, but you wouldn't take those unless you were an engineering major.

Your English classes are also important for the verbal and writing sections. Other than the pre-reqs, Genetics is helpful.
