MDCAT Timetable [Quick Preparation Guide]

When you start preparing for the MDCAT , you often worry about the preparation in accordance with the best timetable. Believe me, it is going to be one of the easiest things that you can do in a month.

Nowadays, students think that the MDCAT preparation requires a lot of time and a very complex timetable to be followed whereas it is just a misconception in their mind. You can prepare the MDCAT within a month if you give efficient time and full concentration on the goal you want to achieve.

To start preparation, Always Select best academy for MDCAT Preparation.

In this article, we will tell you how you can prepare through the MDCAT timetable. This timetable will surely work if you go through it thoroughly. Before we proceed further, let us have a look at the structure, weightage, and difficulty levels of MDCAT.

S/NO	SUBJECT	PERCENTAGE	MCQs
1	Biology	32	68
2	Chemistry	26.5	56
3	Physics	26.5	56
4	English	10	20
5	Logical Reasoning	5	10
6	Total	100	210

We also updated MDCAT Books 2023with new content.

MDCAT Pattern

• There are 210 multiple-choice questions that are divided into five different portions.
• 20% of MCQs are easy, 20% hard, and 60% of MCQs are medium.
• The time allowed for MDCAT is 210 minutes.
• It is a computer-based test.
•  The minimum percentage you would be required to pass is 65.

Let’s Divide subject-wise.

1. Biology is the first and most important part with 68 MCQs (32% overall)
2. Chemistry is the second important part with 56 MCQs (26% of overall)
3. Physics is the third most important part with 56 MCQs (26% of overall)
4. English is the fourth most important part with 20 MCQs (10% of overall)
5. Logical Reasoning is the last most important part with 10 MCQs (5% of overall)

The above theory and table can give a clear idea of how the MDCAT is designed. We will keep this understanding as our base for making the best MDCAT timetable.

MDCAT Biology Timetable

Dear students, you must have observed from the above design that biology is the most important part of the overall test. Also, it contains the highest number of MCQs (68 questions/32%). If we look at the syllabus of Biology, we will find 13 content topics that would need to be prepared within a month.

1. Bio-diversity (acellular life/variety of life)
2. Bio-energetic
3. Biological molecules
4. Cell structure and function
5. Coordination and control/nervous & chemical coordination
6. Diversity among animals
7. Enzymes
8. Evolution
9. Life process in animals and plants (nutrition/gaseous exchange/ transport)
10. Prokaryotes
11. Reproduction
12. Support and movement
13. Variation and genetics/inheritance

Let us have a look at the timetable below of 30 days that will provide you with the best roadmap to crack the MDCAT.

Look, you have 13 topics to prepare in a month. It would be a very good criterion if you prepare one topic in two days. There is a total of 30 days where 13 topics would take 26 days of the month. Each week, you have to prepare 3 topics whereas one of your weeks should adjust for 4 topics. Keep the rest of the four days for revision. We will tell you how you can revise your topics in these four days in the last portion. The tabular form of the above procedure would look like this:

MDCAT English Timetable

English portion is all about the command you have in the English language. It is going to be a medium throughout your medical studies. There are six important areas of English that you need to practice in 30 days.

1.  Comprehend key vocabulary
2. Demonstrate control of tenses and sentence structure
3. Demonstrate ability to differentiate between the correct and incorrect structure of sentences & Use of writing conventions of spelling, capitalization, and Punctuation
4. Demonstrate correct use of subject-verb agreement & of articles and prepositions
5. Demonstrate ability to identify mistakes in sentences or short written texts. These errors could be of inappropriate word order, vocabulary, etc.
6. Demonstrate ability to comprehend short written text and select the most appropriate responses

English is not like other subjects. Practicing all six areas of the English language every day would be considered the best strategy because most students lack English composition and comprehension skills. So, practice each module every day and get ready for the MDCAT within a month.
