MCATSelect PassagesSummer 2021We recommended for you to complete these passages(or the equivalent of other TBR HW phases) at aminimum before starting your full-length tests. Ideallyyou can complete an additional 30%-50% of the TBRpassages (not shown below) before starting full lengthtests. The select passages below have been sampledfrom each section (e.g., metabolic components) of eachbook (e.g., Biology Part II) in order to gain exposureacross a wide number of MCAT topics. It is highlyrecommended to complete additional passages forthose topics in which you find more challenging.Select list containing about 20% of the total passages that make up The Berkeley Review’s 202110-Book MCAT Review Set.Passage TitleEndotoxinSubjectBiology Pt.2Lipids and MembranesBiology Pt.2Amino AcidCharacteristicsGram negative andGram-Positive bacteriaMitosis and MeiosisBiology Pt.2Enzyme InhibitorsBiology Pt.2Enzyme NomenclatureBiology Pt.2Enzyme Kinetics IIBiology Pt.2Electron Transport ChainBiology Pt.2Cholesterol MetabolismRegulationB-OxidationBiology Pt.2Glycolysis and 2,3BisphosphoglycerateBiology Pt.2Biology Pt.2Biology Pt.2Biology Pt.2SectionStructure andFunctionStructure andFunctionStructure andFunctionStructure andFunctionStructure ysMetabolicPathwaysMetabolicPathwaysPassage #IVPagePg. 63Questions18-23VIIPg. 6937-43IXPg. 7351-58XIPg. 7766-72XIIIPg. yright by The Berkeley ReviewThe Berkeley ReviewSpecializing in MCAT Preparation
