I've gotten mixed answers on this. Could those of you who have recently taken the MCAT tell me if organic reactions were tested on this section? Or is it mainly nomenclature, properties, and stereochemistry?

From what I remember from mine taken several months ago, you don't need to know very specific reaction mechanisms like you do in your organic chem lectures. Just basic ones--they are explained in most prep books. And I only had 2-3 passages from O-chem and those were easy.

Just know them all with the mechanisms. Good for MCAT and good for long-term.
