MDCAT 2026 had 180 MCQs. Knowing where they come from tells you where your hours should go.
| Subject | MCQs | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Biology | 81 | 45% |
| Chemistry | 45 | 25% |
| Physics | 36 | 20% |
| English | 9 | 5% |
| Logical Reasoning | 9 | 5% |
Biology decides most MDCAT results. Read the syllabus line by line; many questions test exact facts from the textbook. Revise in cycles and test every chapter.
Chemistry mixes facts and short calculations. Students who are strong in Biology often lose their lead here. Practise numericals weekly, not just before the test.
Physics carries 36 marks. Focus on concepts and formula-based MCQs. Even moving from 18 to 26 out of 36 changes your aggregate noticeably.
These 18 marks are the quickest to improve. Short daily practice is enough. Do not skip them.
There is no negative marking, so attempt every question. See How to calculate your MDCAT aggregate.
