MDCAT Physics

36 of 180 MDCAT questions

Pick the right formula, watch your units — that’s most of MDCAT Physics.

Physics makes up around 36 of the 180 MDCAT questions. It is formula- and application-driven: the exam tests whether you can choose the right equation and reason through units, not whether you can produce long derivations.

A clean formula sheet, comfort with units and dimensions, and plenty of timed MCQ practice are the fastest route to a reliable Physics score.
