MCAT Mneumonics

Anyone have any good ones worth sharing?

I’m trying to see if this works. If not, “King Phillip Came Over For Good Sandwiches.”

Here is another one. “Leo the Lion says Ger.”…Leo- Losing Electrons is Oxidation…Ger- Gaining Electrons is Reduction.

THere is a lot to know for the MCAT. Two that I found very useful in Physics (from examcrackers) regarding simple harmonic motion: wiggle (w=sqrt(g/L)) for a pendulum and wak’em (w=sqrt(k/m)). Then knowing that w=2.pi.f and f=1/T you can solve a bunch of problems.

My new favorite is for lenses and images- UV & IR. Upright=virtual, inverted=real.


I already know from chem which letters go together, and this takes the second guessing out of it during crunch time.

Some functional groups can be confusing. I use imagery to distinguish between ketones, ethers, esters and carboxlic acids. I hope you enjoy.
