Check out the unique features of this site! 1) Each topic page (click on the samples below) describes the relevance of that topic to the MCAT exam. 2) Sample audio-visual slideshow tutorial: Lens Basics 3) Sample worked problem: Baseball hit over fence? 4) Sample teaching problem (show/hide) approach): Marble falling down stairs Sign Up Now for Immediate Access to the physics problems site and all the audio-visual slide show tutorials. |

EXPERIENCE: We have the experience in teaching physics, teaching MCAT physics prep courses and writing the physics portion of the highly regarded Barron's MCAT Study Guide to insure your success. |
|
|
BETTER GRADES: To get a better grade on the physics portion of the MCAT you need to know the questions in advance., We don't know all the questions you will encounter, but we do know what was on past exams and what you can expect on future exams. |
|
|
CLEAR UNDERSTANDING: Our clear approach to doing problems the simplest way possible will give you a better overall understanding of physics, and most importantly the background information necessary for the physics questions that you will encounter on the MCAT. |
|
|
LESS WORK: It is not how hard you study or how long you study that counts. It is how efficiently you study. Using our knowledge of what you can expect on the MCAT, you can be assured that you will be working on what counts and not studying things that do not contribute to a good score. |

below and pay with any major
credit card. After that you can sign in each time you visit
the site and
have access to all the problems and the tutorials. We will communicate with you by e-mail
and
arrange for your tutor and the practice tests. If you want
more tutor
time just ask.

Remember: You can understand the physics - but still not be able to do the problems!
This
site shows you how to do the
problems you will encounter.
And doing
problems is how you get graded on the
MCAT test!

If you need a program to study physics just for the MCAT physics problems, you will want some and possibly all of the following features: |
|
| If
you want these things you have come to the right place! This MCAT
Physics Tutor
site will provide this
and more. Look at what you get! |
|
| You can take just the tutorials, teaching problems and worked problems or the personal tutoring or just the practice test plus evaluation or you can take the whole package. |
| If
you want the problems, check out the many free samples below and ask yourself if this will help you do MCAT
physics
problems faster and easier. We get right to the heart of each
topic with a
basic review of each topic, audio-visual tutorials, worked problems and
then teaching
problems were
you can drill yourself on procedures until you have mastered them. |
| About half the problems use a show/hide approach. In these problems you first see the statement of the problem and possibly a prompt to draw a diagram. Clicking the show/hide button shows the next step in the problem. With successive show/hide buttons the route through the problem is slowly revealed. This way you can follow along the problem and work it out while checking each step along the way. We think this is much better than stating the problem and then prompting you for the answer or having you read a worked problem or watching someone solve problems. |
| The problems cover the areas such as Mechanics, Magnetism and Light that you will find on the MCAT test. The usual study route is to read the topic discussion, watch the audio-visual tutorials and then work through the teaching problems. |
| After you get used to this technique of learning how to apply concepts to problem solving you will look over the worked problems and then copy the "T" or teaching problems with the hide buttons, and work through the problem yourself successively checking by "showing" each step in the problem. A little unsure of the procedure? No Problem. Just come back another time and do it again. You will effectively teach yourself to do the problems in a non-threatening (no class, no colleagues or instructor that is moving at a pace different from yours) environment. Take as long as it takes. When you can do the problem completely without opening any show buttons, you have mastered the technique for that type of problem. And what are these problems. They are the ones that we have determined to be most like ones you will find on the MCAT test. |
| If you want one-on-one tutoring help, then check out our on line tutoring software. Click on the link to go to the power point presentation of MCATUTOR, our online interactive tutor machine. The software uses text, images you can draw, with the help of your instructor, and voice. You can even download sessions for review. Or work with Skype, whichever is most convenient for you. |
| Why are we so confident that we can prepare you better than anyone else? Simple. We have the experience in physics and in preparing students for the MCAT test. Just a little background on the people who have created this web site: |
|
| If you want help with practice tests, we will supply you with two practice tests, and after you have completed them, we will give you a written review of how you did on the problems with suggestions where you might improve. |
