MCAT 2015: Possible to relate Topics to Reasoning Skills?

[deleted728364]

Has anyone tried to narrow down which specific topics in the Biology section are more likely to be asked as a Knowledge of Scientific Concepts and Principles (Skill 1) question? Some intuition regarding this would give my studying (and others') a bit more direction.

Thanks!

I pulled this from the aamc outline of the test. When I did their new section bank, this was roughly how it was distributed. I think this is the closest you'll get to a breakdown for determining high yield topics.
