MCAT Cheat Sheets
A Quick Update on MCATalyst Cheat-Sheets
In September, we’re going to be rebuilding some of these cheat sheets! We’re currently in the process of reviewing and editing our textbooks, and once we’re done with that, we’re going to be re-releasing some of the older Cheat Sheets (such as the lab techniques and OChem Reactions) with corrections and much better organization/visualizations so they’re not as boring to look at.
If you think something might be wrong on one of the cheat sheets, make sure to fact check! We’re aware of nearly every mistake in the cheat sheets, it just will take a while for us to be able to get to fixing them.
OChem Reactions Cheat Sheet
All designed to telling you exactly what you need to know about each reaction for OChem on the MCAT. Simplicity is key! Don’t memorize mechanisms, understand the reactants and products and why each reaction occurs! Anki here
Metabolism Quick Cheat Sheet
A quick guide to the most important info for Metabolism on the MCAT. Not meant to be a holistic guide, just the “quick hitters”. Will be entirely overhauled/updated summer of ‘26!
Lenses and Mirrors Cheat Sheet
A quick guide to lenses and mirrors (Geometrical Optics), explaining the commonly tested topics and equations within geometrical optics. Will be updating to make it look a bit better and sometime soon.
Metabolism Quick Graphics
Graphics that summarize certain processes, steps, metabolic states, or other important information needed for metabolism on the MCAT. Nothing more and nothing less than exactly what you need to know!
Amino Acids Cheat Sheet
A quick guide to the organization and important characteristics of the amino acids and the backbone of amino acids.
Lab Techniques and Study Design
A simplification of the most important information you need to know for each lab technique and aspect of experimental design for the MCAT! (Updated 1/30 to fix pH of electrodes in IEF). Anki Here
Molecules to Know or Recognize
A concise list of the molecules that you should memorize the structures of or at least be able to recognize. Anki Here
Enzymes and Enzymatic Inhibitors
A list of the most important information about Enzymes as well as Enzymatic Inhibitors.
