## Tactics for Tackling Physics Problems
When approaching MCAT physics questions, always start by identifying
the core concept (e.g., energy, force, or waves). Draw diagrams whenever possible—they make complex problems
clearer. Write down formulas and list what you know and what you’re solving for. Always check units and use
process of elimination on multiple-choice answers.
Examples
- Drawing a free-body diagram for a pulley problem before calculating the answer.
- Eliminating answer choices with the wrong units.
