<p>For anyone who's taken the MCAT, would the first physics course be enough to be prepared for current MCAT? Or is physics 2 also needed (not to apply to med school...understand this is a pre-req, but just to cover level of physics on exam). Thanks.</p>
<p>The knowledge for MCAT can not be determined by which class you took. The only way to know is to take the practice test to figure out. If you have only taken one class and it is in college, I would not bet on it being sufficient. If you have done AP Physics B or C in high school, you may know enough.</p>
<p>Most medical schools require the first year of General Physics to even apply…At my school the first of the series only covered kinematics and several other very introductory topics. You still need to know fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, lenses, mirrors, circuits, sound, light and wave dynamics which, at least at my school, are offered in the other 2 classes of the Physics series. </p>
<p>This is all fair game on the MCAT.</p>
