Grade 11, MCAT?

I am in grade 11 and would like to go to med school in the future.

I Tried a practice MCAT from the net, and I honestly cannot even get one question on the practice mcat. I have already taken grade 11 Physics, Chem and Bio and Got 80-89. Should I know some of these questions already or is it understandable that I cannot even begin to comprehend these questions?

It is getting me worried :S

As already mentioned, the MCAT questions will be a higher level than those of high school. You really want to have taken college bio, chem at least before attempting a practice even for fun. Plus there is Physics and Ochem (ochem u probably need at least a semester under ur belt to attempt those).

However, if you are really really curious, you can take it, but do be disheartened if they are low, it is understandable.

I can tell you are a very eager beaver, take the Verbal section of the MCAT. Most science majors in college when taking the MCAT find verbal their hardest.

Hi, Daniel.

Hmm. It’s a little strange that you couldn’t get any questions right. The high school courses should have prepared you for some of the info.

You will of course take the college level equivalents. Be sure to learn all of the concepts well in those courses when you get to college. Don’t just study to get by on the tests but ask for extra help if you need it to make sure you understand the concepts.

Much of the MCAT is about creative thinking and problem solving. It’s not enough just to memorize facts.

It’s good that you are starting to think about this early. Don’t worry too much about your science level now.

I do have a free four year planning system that you are welcome to use as you go through college. It steps you through month by month with everything you should be doing.

Daniel,

You have spunk! I like that. I would never have taken a MCAT exam after only finishing the 11th grade.

High school sciences are very similar to college science however, in college you go more in depth. Also, you will be taking Organic Chemistry (the mother of all classes). This is the class that many fail because of the rigors of what this subject has to offer you.

Anyways, Good Luck in pursuing med school!
