Psych/Soc is often the section where students gain the most points in the least time. It's heavy on vocabulary, but the questions test whether you can apply a term to a new scenario — not just define it.
The AAMC outline puts this section at roughly 65% introductory psychology, 30% introductory sociology and 5% biology. Questions cover how people sense and perceive, think and remember, feel and are motivated, form identity, and interact within social structures and inequality.
Make flashcards for high-yield terms, and write your own example for each one — the MCAT gives you a scenario and asks which concept fits. Pair similar terms that are easy to confuse (like the types of conformity or the stages of sleep) and drill the distinctions. Practice reading research-design passages: independent and dependent variables, controls and correlation versus causation come up again and again.
Students often leave this section until last and rush the vocabulary. Others memorize definitions but miss application questions. Starting term review early and doing it a little every day avoids both.
