Huckel's Rule on MCAT?

[DeMoNdOgDFM]

I understand that AAMC removed benzene, electrophilic aromatic substitution, etc from the list of covered material from their online list...I also noticed that Huckel's Rule of Aromaticity wasn't on their either.

Can anyone confirm that Huckel's Rule is no longer being tested? I've seen AAMC questions from practice exams that involved this rule, that's why I'm getting a little confused. Thanks.

It would be in your best interest to be familiar with what it means for a compound to be aromatic.

Posted a similar question, so I guess aromatic compounds is no longer being tested.

From what I understand, it may be in a passage but not a discrete.

Anyway, I'd learn it since it's really simple.

Personally, I wouldn't waste your time. It's not on the outline. Even if it is simple, it's just not productive. Same reasoning can be said about all the electrophilic addition reactions that every prep book loves to waste their time discussing. It's fairly simple but it is an incredible waste of time. Knowing it won't contribute much. Understanding what aromaticity is, that it is stable, and disrupting it produces in an unstable structure is all you really need to know.
