Varsity Tutors is the only resource you need if you're looking for a Tulsa MCAT prep course. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a high-stakes exam that assesses the skills that the medical community (including faculty, residents, and students) finds most predictive of success in med school. It is required by virtually all med schools in the United States, including local institutions such as the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences. Every institution has its own standard when it comes to the scores they are looking for, but putting your best foot forward can only help in the pursuit of your academic goals.
When you sign up for a Tulsa MCAT class, you will get a structured classroom environment with a knowledgeable teacher who can answer any questions you may have about the test. Contact us today for more information about how our services can help you.
What topics does a Tulsa MCAT course generally cover?
The MCAT is a computer-based examination with four multiple-choice sections, most of which measure a candidate's scientific knowledge base. Each section is scored from 118-132, and your four section scores are combined to produce a total score from 472-528.
The MCAT is a very long exam, consisting of six hours and 15 minutes of actual testing time. You get some scheduled breaks as well, meaning that you should plan to be at the testing center for no less than seven-and-a half-hours on the day of your exam. Here is a more detailed look at the structure and content of each of the MCAT's four sections.
Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
The first section on the test consists of 59 questions. The first 44 are divided between 10 reading passages, while the remaining 15 are standalone items. Some of the topics covered include basic biochemistry, introductory organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, introductory physics, and the periodic table. Special attention is paid to how tissues, organs, and organ systems function in the human body. You have a total of 95 minutes to answer all of the items on this section.
Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
The second section on the exam consists of 53 passage-based questions. This is the only section on the entire test that does not have a scientific focus, as the passages are drawn from topics such as the social sciences and the humanities. Thankfully, you aren't expected to have any prior knowledge of these subject areas. Instead, you are assessed according to your ability to infer information based on the material you have, use context to identify unfamiliar terms and phrases, and point out how the addition of certain hypothetical information would change the meaning of a piece. You have an hour-and-a-half to answer all of the questions on this section.
Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
The third section of the assessment follows the same basic format as the first section. You have 95 minutes to answer 59 items divided between 10 reading passages plus 15 independent items. This section emphasizes the microbiology behind life, so most of the questions involve cells in some way. For example, you might look at how cells acquire energy and other materials needed to function, how a cell responds to stimuli, and how multiple cells work together to help an organism achieve larger goals such as growth and reproduction.
Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
The final section of the examination follows the relatively standard MCAT format: 59 questions divided between 10 reading passages and standalone items over 95 minutes. This section stresses the human side of healthcare, including mental health, introductory psych, sociology and how it related to patients, the impacts of behavior on health, and several social issues in medicine. For instance, test-takers are expected to understand how social stratification can affect a patient's access to resources, as well as how their access to resources can affect their overall well-being.
Why should I take a Tulsa MCAT course provided by Varsity Tutors?
Every Tulsa MCAT class is taught by a knowledgeable instructor who has been vetted by Varsity Tutors, so you can count on studying with a great communicator who has a strong grasp of the concepts on the MCAT. Your weekly sessions also take place on a live virtual platform, an online classroom that supports real-time interactions with your teacher and classmates. You also have the chance to arrange private study time with your teacher outside of normal class hours if you need to go over a concept again.
That said, many students find it advantageous to work with others. You all share the cost of instruction, making a Tulsa MCAT class more affordable than you might believe. You can also collaborate to make it easier for everybody to develop a more comprehensive understanding of MCAT concepts. For instance, explaining something to somebody else can be a great way to improve your own understanding of the material. Similarly, a classmate who is musically inclined might write a song about organ systems that your whole class can use to help with memorization.
Classes are also a great place to take practice exams to give you an idea of how MCAT items are worded. If you find that you are struggling on a particular section, you now know what you should concentrate on during your study time between sessions. If you consistently do well in a particular area, you may get a jolt of self-confidence when you see those items on the actual exam.
We also try to make attending a course as convenient as possible. We offer two and four-week options to make it easier to find a fit for your lifestyle. New courses also start up every week, so you can jump into a new one whenever you're ready.
