Hello,
I am a nursing major and am wanting to take the MCAT. I’ve read that biochem, organic chemistry, General biology/anatomy, psychology, and physics are the more important topics to study. I have already taken psych, a general biology course, microbiology, anatomy and physiology I and II, and I plan on taking physics. My main question is about the chemistry. I’ve taken 1 semester of general chemistry and then another semester of chemistry where the first half was organic and the second half was biochemistry (weird, I know). I’ve heard that you only need to know the basics of organic and biochemistry for the MCAT, so would my combined organic and biochem class likely be sufficient (along with Kaplan MCAT prep), or should I consider taking organic chem I, Organic chem II, and then biochem before taking the MCAT.
