I've only recently started studying for the mcat and haven't covered anywhere near the full material for P/S, but I definitely feel like I've seen more topics from Psychology than Sociology. Psych was a more enjoyable class as well imo, but they both have some overlap and either one would help a lot.

Whichever you think you will do better in. Seriously all the p/s you need for the mcat is in prep books or even khan academy.

An Intro Psychology class will most likely also cover the basic parts of Sociology that you would ever be expected to know for the MCAT (via a discussion on Social Psychology). While both are probably adequately covered within review resources, I think that Psych is a better class overall and is probably the more "difficult" of the two topics, so reinforced learning might be best. Psych will also talk a lot more about research design (hopefully) compared to Sociology, which is *essential* for MCAT prep nonsense.

Psych- there are more concepts to learn that feel route memorization/artificial than soc, which is mostly common sense.

I see, so I will lean towards psych thanks Sdn buddies!

Psych is better. I feel that it is more of Biology than Behavioral Science 😛

I wanted to take them over the summer but I have too many plans setup (EC's, research etc..) so ill just stay away for now
