So this may be a dumb question and an impossible statistic to measure, but I was wondering if anyone that has previously taken the MCAT can shed some light on how much of the material you studied actually appeared on the exam. The MCAT tests 4 years of science in a limited exam format, but did the MCAT integrate many subjects into different passages, or is it just the luck of the draw with what actually appears on each particular exam?

My friend who took the January MCAT told me that there was a physics discrete that was almost word-for-word compared to a physics question in TBR.

There will be a certain randomness to it.

When it comes down to it, the PS and BS are 52 questions. TBR has 20 chapters of PS and 18 chapters of BS.

So there is some luck of the draw, as far as what info your test has.
