BIOL 99 - MCAT Preparation


Unit(s): 2

This course is designed to assist students in preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), the standardized exam required as part of the admissions process to most US medical schools. The course includes a review of the basic sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), with attention to the three sections of the MCAT: Physical Science, Biological Sciences and Verbal Reasoning. Both content and cognitive skills will be addressed, along with how to be successful in the MCAT testing format. This course does NOT count toward credit for requirements in any major, minor, emphasis or certificate program at USF. Letter grades will not be assigned, the course is Pass/Fail only. Four hours of lecture each week.

College level coursework in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics is necessary for this class. Students lacking sufficient background in these subjects may be dropped from the course at the discretion of the department (or instructor) in order to ensure the class can be taught at the level required for MCAT success.
