Hello all,
I have some questions about the MCAT test itself. Does the test keep away from elementary pre-med matter, concentrating instead on advanced pre-med subject matter, assuming a mastery of the former if the student can answer questions about the latter? I ask this because I did well in bio and chem several years ago, and if the MCAT material is weighted toward the more advanced subject matter, then I don't see any need to take these classes again. Instead I can round out my pre-med studies with classes in immunology, genetics, embryology, etcetera. But I have no doubt that if the MCAT is going to test me on the finer points of the elementary pre-med stuff, I'd better take these classes again.
