Biology content on the MCAT is arguably the most expansive section, requiring multiple college-level courses for proficiency. While you can be successful with only intro-level coursework in other areas like general chemistry and physics for the MCAT, you should have completed coursework or have comfort with all of the following biology topics:
- Eukaryotic Cells
- Cell Biology
- Reproduction
- Developmental Biology
- Bacteria, Viruses, and Fungi
- Biochemical Pathways
- Human Gas Exchange, Circulation, Digestion, and Musculoskeletal Function
- Human Renal, Endocrine, and Nervous Systems
- Heredity
- Evolution, Populations, and Ecology
Note that while you should be able to navigate these topics with comfort, you don't need to have a Master's degree in any of these subjects to be successful. Since the MCAT is a critical thinking and application test, the core content tested is often relatively superficial, with the focus being on applying the material.
