  • 3,500+flashcards
  • 200+CARS passages
  • Freeto start

What the Biology course covers

Biology shows up in Bio/Biochem on the MCAT. The course is split into units, each unit into skills, and each skill into five levels, from quick recall up to multi-step, passage-style reasoning.

  • Cells and Organelles
  • Cell Division
  • Genetics and Evolution
  • Bacteria and Viruses
  • Nervous and Hormone Systems
  • Heart, Lungs, and Immune System
  • Digestion and Kidneys
  • Reproduction and Development
  • Muscles, Bones, and Skin

What you'll practice

  • Organelles, the cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis
  • Mendelian genetics, Hardy-Weinberg and evolution
  • The nervous and endocrine systems, from action potentials to hormone feedback loops
  • Cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, digestive and renal physiology

How a lesson works

  • Each lesson is a handful of questions, quick enough to fit between classes
  • Every answer comes with an explanation, plus why each wrong answer is wrong
  • Questions you miss come back later in mistake review, so they actually stick
  • Every skill has its own flashcard deck, already made for you
  • Finish a unit and face a boss: a passage set that pulls the whole unit together

Built to make you come back

XP, levels, streaks and a weekly league against other premeds make it easier to show up on the days you don't feel like studying. The questions are the serious part: every one is original and mapped to the content the MCAT actually tests.
