Syllabus of MCAT 2015

Syllabus of MCAT 2015

By now you would have been listening many rumors that syllabus of MCAT has been changed and the merit criteria is also changed. None of these is true. The syllabus and merit criteria would be announced near fsc exams. 

Most probably the syllabus and merit criteria would be the same as that of last year. Yes, there can be a minor changes in the syllabus but not much. So below are the topics which you need to cover for MCAT. The syllabus as posted by uhs on their site is not clear to all so we posted it an easier manner.
Note: This is according to the books of FSC.
