Will behavior biology be tested on MCAT?

[liux0019]

I found that there are questions regarding behavior biology, like conditioning, imprinting, etc on the AAMC CBT tests. But this topic never appears on EK or Kaplan study materials.

I am confused that will this topic still be on MCAT?

if it is it will be something that's passage based and designed to test your reasoning skills.

well on the test he's referring to, it wasn't really passage based. i think it was a question that was part of a passage but not related to the passage

Yes, it could very likely be part of a passage. I'd go into more detail... but...

can you direct me to the specific q you have in mind

if this Q is an actual AAMC Q please use the pm function or the thread for these questions. Some other person posted a bunch of them here and kind of ruins it for everyone

thanks

I hate to bump this thread, but this topic of "behavior biology" has been busted out on two different discrete questions on AAMC 3 and 10 respectively.

The topic isn't listed on the AAMC topic PDF, thus, i missed both questions. What is a good source to study this area?

yeah, there were some of these questions on the practice tests. I only knew the answers from taking psychology in high school.

The practice tests sometimes test you on some really random things just to make a bell curve.

especially bio. you'll go from a passage full of stuff answerable simply from a passage, to a hilariously discrete bio question that can only be answered w/a thorough content knowledge.

they really keep you on your toes.
