MCAT Sample paper :
Physical Science

1. A hockey puck of mass 0.16 kg is slapped so that its velocity is 50 m/sec. It slides 40 meters across the ice before coming to rest. How much work is done by friction on the puck?

(A) +4 J
(B) –60 J
(C) –200 J
(D) –340 J

Biological Science

A variety of staining techniques are routinely used in the microbiology laboratory to identify bacteria. Some stains are simple stains while others are differential. Many of the basic dyes used bind to the bacterial cell due to its negatively charged surface. Other dyes may be repelled by the cell, and can be used to produce a negative stain. The choice of technique depends on the type of information needed. The information is routinely used to help identify microorganisms, and it also helps determine appropriate therapeutic treatment.

1. The most widely-used differential stain for bacteria is:

(A) the capsule stain.
(B) the Gram stain.
(C) the endospore stain.
(D) the flagella stain.

2. All of the following are true statements about the brain EXCEPT:

(A) The pons functions to link the cerebellum with the higher conscious centers.
(B) The limbic system alerts the cortex of incoming stimuli.
(C) The limbic system is associated with emotional responses.
(D) The nuclei of cranial nerves 5, 6, 7, and 8 are located in the pons.

Writing Sample (sample only)

A popular fear of Americans is that our nation will be "one large, paved parking lot with border-to-border interstate highways connecting it."

Write an essay in which you perform the following tasks: explain what you think the statement means; describe specific situations in which there is evidence of a growing change in the countryside of this nation; discuss ways that the statement may not be necessarily true; provide evidence of what this means to today's society; conclude with a justification of the positive or negative implications.

MCAT Answers

Verbal Reasoning

1. The correct answer is (B). The author attempts to point out the symptoms that require a visit to the doctor and alludes to those that can be personally treated. Choice (A) is incorrect; while selecting quality health care is very important, there is no effort on the part of the author to deal with this subject. Choice (C) is incorrect; the author alludes to the importance of holding down the cost of health care, but focuses on care for the proper reasons. Choice (D) is incorrect; there is no mention of maintaining consistency in quality of life.

2. The correct answer is (C). The author makes the statement that "If they did, our entire system of medical care would be swamped overnight and the doctors would be unable to take care of the more serious problems." Choice (A) is incorrect; while this may be true, it is not indicated in this article. Choices (B) and (D) are incorrect; although both are probably true, there is no evidence in this article to support either statement.

Physical Science

1. The correct answer is (C).

The work-energy theorem relates the change in kinetic energy to the work done on the puck:

equation 1b

Since the force of gravity is vertical and the displacement of the puck is horizontal, the force of gravity does no work. Since the only horizontal force on the puck is the friction force, all of the work on the puck is done by friction:

equation 1b

or

equation 2a

Since friction always exerts a force opposite to the velocity, the work done by friction is expected to be negative, as calculated.

Biological Science

1. The correct answer is (B). The gram stain is used to identify Gram-positive vs. Gram-negative cells, based on the cell wall composition of the organism.

2. The correct answer is (B). The limbic system includes the limbic lobe as well as the associated subcortical nuclei. It is associated with emotional responses and the integration of olfactory information with visceral and somatic information.
