MCAT
MCAT prep across all four sections, one concept at a time.
Lessons, practice questions with worked explanations, CARS passage sets and a Study Path that always has your next step.
All four sections, in one plan
Every MCAT plan covers all four sections, and your Score Estimate follows each one.
Chem/Phys
Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
General and organic chemistry, biochemistry and physics as they apply to living systems: solutions, acids and bases, electrochemistry, light and sound, thermodynamics.
CARS
Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
Passages from the humanities and social sciences. Lessons on comprehension and on reasoning within and beyond the text, then full passage sets to practice on.
Bio/Biochem
Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
Proteins and enzymes, metabolism, genetics, cells and the organ systems, from molecules up to physiology.
Psych/Soc
Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
Perception, learning and memory, identity, social processes and inequality: the psychology and sociology the MCAT tests.
What’s included
The same tools as every StudyPattern exam, built for the MCAT’s sections and score scale.
- A guided Study Path of lessons and practice
- Focused lessons, each followed by practice on the same concept
- CARS passage sets with an explanation for every question
- Needs-Work Review for the questions you miss
- Strength by concept and a Score Estimate by section
- An optional Diagnostic for a starting picture
Not included: full-length practice exams. Use the official AAMC practice exams for those.

Lesson excerpt
Carbonyl Chemistry
Nucleophilic Addition
The attack-site trap places the nucleophile on oxygen because oxygen is more electronegative. Mark the partially positive carbon instead: that is the electrophilic site. In an enzyme passage, removal of a proton from a serine hydroxyl can produce a stronger oxygen nucleophile that adds to a substrate carbonyl.
Follow the electron density: a nucleophile attacks an electrophilic site.
Needs-Work Review
Missed questions come back.
In your StudyPattern account, a question you miss joins Needs-Work Review with its concept, so you can reread the lesson and try again later.
Structure, function, and reactivity of biologically relevant molecules
Learn the idea, then give the question another go.

Before you start MCAT prep
Which MCAT sections are included?
All four: Chemical and Physical Foundations, CARS, Biological and Biochemical Foundations, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations. Every MCAT plan includes all of them.
How does CARS practice work?
CARS lessons cover comprehension and reasoning within and beyond the text. Practice uses passage sets: read a passage, answer its questions, then read the explanation for each one. The free questions in the practice library are standalone science and behavior questions, not passages.
Does StudyPattern include full-length practice exams?
No. StudyPattern teaches and practices one concept at a time. For full-length practice exams, use the official AAMC materials alongside your study here.
Is the Score Estimate an official MCAT score?
No. It is an estimate from your practice, by section, not an official result or a guarantee of your exam-day score.
Does a GRE plan include MCAT?
No. Each exam has its own trial and paid access. You can study both with one StudyPattern account.
