torque and momentum --> how hard does the mcat test these?

so i've been going over torque and momentum on nova physics and the problems towards the latter part of the problem sets have been pretty complex -- now i can deal with torque and momentum via the straightforward plug-and-chug way, but how in-depth am i supposed to get with these topics? because i am literally attacking them so much that i might be getting confused again.

can you be more specific as to what you mean by "in depth"? with momentum, collisions of all types will be covered. they often combine topics, so momentum can be combined with electromagnetism (a moving electron colliding etc) and other topics. torque is more rarely tested, and you should at least be comfortable with lever arms and rotational equilibrium.

Like a lot of passages, I think it has less to do with how "difficult" the concept is that's being given in, say, a passage and more to do with filtering that concept out. e.g, a simple momentum passage could be covered in so much extraneous detail(like an experiment) that the hard part is REALIZING that it's a momentum passage.

the torque section on nova is terrible (way too in depth and poorly taught). i would advise you try a different source.
