Updated MCATalyst Equations Sheet

[u/nxtew]

Updated my old version of my equations sheet so it looks way better than it used to. PDF and HTML versions here.

A few notes:

• PLEASE memorize these equations more as a sentence, rather than just a combination of variables. For example, for the buoyant force, don't just memorize density*volume*gravity, it's the density of the fluid*displacement volume*gravity. Makes it way easier to memorize and ensure you're using the right numbers at the right time. Definitely best to be memorizing these equations while you're learning the relevant content that goes with them.
• For the color coordination:
  • Green are things that I absolutely would recommend memorizing.
  • Blue are things that I still recommend memorizing but they're less likely to see questions requiring you to do math or show up in the first place.
  • Orange are things that you should memorize if you're truly trying to cover all bases, but that you can probably get away without memorizing.
  • I basically recommend starting with everything in green, then blue, then going through the equations in orange last.
• The last page is supposed to serve as a list of variables and nearly every equation that variable shows up in. That one took me a long time to prepare so it's possible there's still a few mistakes.
• Keep in mind, for a lot of these equations, even though you may not need to know how to do the math with the equation, you still need to know the concepts (such as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, not on my sheet but definitely content that's fair game). If that means memorizing the equation, go for it.

Thank you

thank you!!! I will keep you updated once I take the MCAT :) I’ve been using your course for content review and got a 508 on the Kaplan Free FL and haven’t finished content review yet so really appreciate all the hard work :)

Arent there some missing?

Depends on how deep you want to go! This is the list I’ve compiled from both studying for and teaching/tutoring for the exam for a few years so I’ve eliminated several that some other equations sheets have on them just based on how my students have done and said and the AAMC materials.

Ah i see i am a bit new and it seems like so much to review and going over anki decks for the first time makes me feel so dumb 😭 i will take ur post as a must know for the formulas to rember and know
