At the center of the renal system are the kidneys: kidneys are complex organs to understand, which is why the renal system is challenging for students who haven’t taken physiology yet. The MCAT won’t test the intricate anatomy of kidneys (that’s for med school!), but the test does cover the main functions of the kidney, the basic structure of the nephron, and how the renal system is involved with other body systems. Tune in to learn more about the renal system!

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
