Sociology and MCAT

Since 2012, the MCAT has included sociological concepts on the MCAT.  In 2020, the MCAT was revised and according to The Saavy PreMed Blog by Ryan Kelly, it now includes more sociological concepts.


The AAMC's MCAT Guide details the sociological science portion of the test beginning on page 75 (photo below) and downloadable here:


 

Here is a "roadmap" to concepts as presented in various textbooks highlighted by the AAMC.


Khan Academy has an MCAT test prep.


Heather McKee Hurwitz provides resources on her weebly blog here.


MDhero review site has concepts and explanations.


Magoosh explains that because the MCAT is a norm-referenced test, it compares students to others taking the test.  Many students will neglect the social science portion so by learning this portion, you may give yourself a leg up.
