MCAT organic chemistry has some fairly rigid components. One of them is carbonyl chemistry because it is so biological. One you know the basics of carbonyl chemistry, you will be able to figure out most, if not all, complex mechanisms. In this webinar, we will cover commonly tested, and biologically relevant reactions, including the aldol reaction. Please watch to get a very targeted approach to MCAT orgo that your orgo classes did not provide.

On the MCAT

  • Mastering organic chemistry is less stressful than the average MCAT student thinks. Remember your fundamentals, as well as core orgo building blocks like nomenclature and stereochemistry.

  • Process of elimination and working backwards from the answers can be a great orgo strategy!

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.”
