how literally to take AAMC's "what's on the MCAT"?

i finally printed out and did a moderate analysis of the "what's on the MCAT" PDF from AAMC.....

if you take it semi-literally (maybe literally), there are HUGE swaths of BC and OC that don't fit into any category of questions. these sections really don't fit in the least to what AAMC lists .......... so can i fairly comfortable that XXXX won't be on MCAT assuming i'm reading/interpreting "what's on the MCAT" correctly??


FYI, biology, chem, physics and P/S it's pretty much everything or at least not big gaping holes.... on a similar vein, it's basically OC, biology and BC (in EK's old biology book) from kaplan that really need to be reduced to summary form. chem/physics/P/S are pretty much ok in long form

thx advance 🙂

i did notice though that occasionally AAMC mixes up categories (at least in my mind)... calling something general chem which is really in organic chemistry book (for example)

Take it very literally. Don't waste time studying things in your books that don't appear anywhere on AAMC's list.
