Calculator on MCAT?
Hey,
I was just wondering if we were allowed to use a calculator on the MCAT?

Thanks

Nope, no calculator, make sure you do plenty of practice without a calculator before you write it.

Protip: In the Physics section, you just need to round the constants. (i.e. Acceleration due to gravity is "10")

No calculators allowed :( but they don't require complex math so you should be fine

Just practice
You'll be surprised how quickly you can improve your ability to do mental math if you practice a bit. Don't worry about it to much.
Also, I highly recommend ExamKrackers for prep books.

No Calc and I personally think the Princeton books are greath for indepth detail esp the new edition, i'm studying off of it now and it's amazing, EK is really good too especially for verbal reasoning and Kaplan 45 advanced prep is good if you wanna go the extra mile
