Description

The Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems (CPBS) section of the MCAT assesses your understanding of how physical and chemical principles apply to living systems—a vital skill for future physicians. This package delivers focused instruction, targeted practice, and expert strategies to strengthen your content knowledge and problem-solving skills for this challenging section. Key parts of this package include, but are not limited to: 1. Custom CPBS Diagnostic Assessment: Identify specific topics in general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biochemistry that need focused review. 2. Targeted Strategy Training: Learn proven techniques for solving passage-based questions that involve calculations, experimental setups, and concept integration. 3. Timed Practice & Feedback: Tackle MCAT-style passages and discrete questions with detailed feedback to improve accuracy and efficiency. 4. Math & Equation Application Drills: Build fluency in applying formulas, interpreting data, and solving problems under time pressure. 5. Time-Management Tactics: Develop pacing strategies and learn how to navigate dense passages without getting stuck. By the end of this package, you’ll have the tools, strategies, and confidence to master the CPBS section and move one step closer to your top MCAT score.

520 MCAT | Weill Cornell MD-PhD Candidate | Personalized Tutoring

I scored a 520 on the MCAT and am now an MD-PhD candidate at Weill Cornell. My background in neuroscience, health sciences, and research at the NIH and UCLA shapes how I teach: start with the core concept, connect it to the passage, and reason through the answer choices. I work with students on biology and biochemistry, chemistry and physics, and psychology and sociology. We will use your current performance, timeline, and schedule to build a focused study plan. In sessions, we can work through passages, unpack missed questions, and identify whether the main obstacle is a content gap, experimental reasoning, timing, or test-taking strategy. You will leave with specific priorities for practice and review, so you know what to work on between sessions and why.
