Hello,
My name is Chris founder and content creator at Eightfold MCAT. I took the MCAT back in April of 2018 and scored a 520 (129/131/129/131). Ever since then, I have been an MCAT tutor and now that's my full-time job!
I love helping people achieve their score goals and that is my inspiration for this creating this channel. I hope to create a comprehensive content and strategy "course" that always puts the most important aspect of the MCAT first, application.

How To Answer Any Standard Acid Base Calculation | MCAT Content
In this video, we will cover how to sequence acid-base calculations by using a calculation concept map. We will build our map up by understanding how the conversion in the p-scale (pH, pOH, pKa, and pKb) are the same as well as how we convert between K-values and concentrations.
After we have built up a simple version of the map we will learn about how to convert from Ka and Kb values into hydroxide and hydronium concentrations and finalize our map. Throughout we walk through example problems.

Solving Serial Dilutions | MCAT Content
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we will go over how to solve regular and serial dilution problems. While I will introduce the equations that underlie the approach to serial dilution problems we won’t be relying on them since I find it easier to use a simple 3-step approach to solving these types of questions rather than setting up a series of dilution equations.

Math Tricks for SI Prefixes | MCAT Math
มุมมอง 4.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I am going to cover how to work with SI prefixes. This includes a quick recap of the math behind the SI prefixes and how this helps us quickly convert them into scientific notation. As well as how to go convert from one SI prefix to the other. Lastly, we will round our discussion of SI prefixes off by discussing what happens when you cube or square an SI prefix.

Understanding pH, pOH, pKa, and pKb | MCAT Content
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Do you ever get confused about whether a high pKa or low pKa corresponds with the most acidic solution? Same with pOH? In this video I will cover how to keep these concepts straight by introducing the idea of the p-scale, the underlying scale that describes pH, pOH, pKa, and pKb. By understanding the underlying concept behind all of the different p-values we can not only keep the values and wha...
Metabolism Memorization Made Easy: Enzyme Names | MCAT Content
มุมมอง 9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Metabolism as it is taught in most MCAT review books and videos is made to seem like nothing more than a slog through rote memorization. A series of reactions catalyzed by specific enzymes with no underlying logic other than this step is catalyzed by this reaction and produces this product. And to be fair when I first started learning about metabolism I saw it this way and would spend 20-30 min...

Thank you for providing the breakdown! I'm improving not only my speed, but also improving on my large question banks
call you cab?
confused, why would we multiply by inverse instead of just multiplying like normal for ex from um to km why cant we just do 10^-6 x 10^3??
When you add a kilo to that number you are multiplying it by 10^3 because those SI prefixes are a way of representing math and they must be cancelled our so we don’t change the original value. So if we add in a prefix we must cancel out its impact on the number by multiplying by its inverse. When we add the km we do this by multiplying by 10^-3 to cancel out the 10^3 that gets added in by the kilo. Lets also think conceptually for a moment about your example. 1 µm is much smaller than 1 m which is much smaller than 1 km. So if 1 µm = 10^-6 m then 1 µm in terms of km must be smaller than 10^-6 km. If we take 10^-6 and multiply it by 10^3 then we get 10^-3 km. But that doesn’t make sense because somehow 1 µm is actually more km than regular m.
@@EightfoldMCATthanks omg!
This is so much easier to understand than Kaplan and other resources. WOW. AMAZING. I think I learned more from this explanation of NMR than what I learned from ochem lab the first time as well.
genuinely keeping you in my prayers, thank you for everything you do man
Awesome!
Thanks a ton
Thank you soo much It is a really great memonic
More videos like this PLEASE
wow so good.
Hi Chris, I was wondering if the office hour program on your website is ongoing by any chance ?
Hey there! That program is currently full. Unfortunately, I won’t be opening up spots soon as all of my current students have later test dates. I only have private tutoring slots open right now. If your interested in that here is the link for a consult: calendly.com/chrismcat/eightfold-consultation
You are seriously the best. Nothing has helped me more than your videos. Please post more!!
is this an aamc passage? I want to know before I watch so i dont expose myself to it too early
No, it is one that I came up with. It’s structure is similar but the passage and questions are unique.
@@EightfoldMCAT great thank you.
Pro you really know how to explain, you make thing obvious
This was incredible! Can you do one for C/P??
Best video
amazing

bro plz come back you’re goated at explaining #missyoushawty
Mass spec, optics, and purification techniques videos are in the works. Each video takes awhile to make (10+ hours) so I’m not 100% sure when they will be out, but hopefully soon!

Thank you!!!
this is gold.
Glad the video was helpful!
I used to get so overwhelmed when reading B/B passages and even after finishing the practice FLs, i couldn't understand why i got some questions wrong. This strategy is GAME-CHANGING. I went over the B/B sections of my past FLs using this strategy and it literally became SO MUCH EASIER to answer the questions!! Thank you so much for this video!
So glad this helped!

That's great 😃 👍 i don't have to speed up the video
Bro I have a Chemistry test tomorrow about Analysing Organic Compounds, and this is a life saver. Thank you.
Brown Karen Clark Deborah Young Elizabeth
Thank you 😭 Really needed this
Should we use these same strategies for Chem/Phys?
Chem/Phys is more straightforward than Bio/Biochem but the same general approach shown here works really well in that section too. If you still find yourself struggling with Chem/Phys then it is likely coming down to content gaps, trouble with some of the step by step problems common to physics and chemistry, for example finding an oxidation number, or an inability to recognize the more subtle ways the MCAT hints at content material in questions.
Useful and concise, thanks
Glad the video was helpful!
Slow down your mouth. You are hard to follow because you talk too fast.
I definitely do end up talking a bit fast in some of these videos. I have gotten similar comments on other videos and when I get started making videos again I am planning on being more mindful of how fast I’m talking. If you find the videos a bit to fast YT does have an option to slow them down so they are at a better speed for you.
@@EightfoldMCAT Thanks, for the suggestion. Yes, slowing down the speed helps. When are you planning to post more MCAT videos? My exam is on September 13th, 2024.

I've watched so many MCAT videos in the past year but this is by far the best channel.
Thank you and good luck on your MCAT!

You have literally changed my entire outlook thank you so so much for teaching strategy
Hopefully it made the MCAT seem a lot more manageable. I know this test can be really confusing and feel impossible at times.
