Physics Passages make my brain hurt...

[DrMeow]

So here is the deal....I'm great a physics when it comes to doing physics problems but when I get to physics passages on the MCAT my brain forgets how to work. I don't know what it is, but figuring out how to integrate the passage information into what I already know is not working out too well. Any tips on how to improve this at all?

thanks!

You're not alone! Here's what helped for me. I found that if I learned specific formulas for specific topics, I could glance over a passage and have a couple of formulas pop in my head. Once that happened, it helped bring my mind into focus on the actual topic. The key is to have previously learned associations between equations and topics. In my signature, there is a link for "How to Study for the MCAT Physical Sciences Section." It's not in there by accident!
