Why build your own MCAT gen chem practice set

Printable sets of mcat practice questions gen chem are easy to find, but they rarely follow the order or wording of the course you actually took. Questions built from your own notes test the material you were taught, including the examples your instructor stressed.

  • Practice drawn from your own lecture slides and textbook chapters
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
  • An explanation for every answer, right or wrong
  • Missed questions can be turned into spaced-repetition flashcards
Example MCAT gen chem practice questions
A weak acid with Ka = 1.8 × 10^-5 is exactly half-neutralized. What is the pH of the solution?pH ≈ 4.74. At the half-equivalence point [HA] = [A-], so the log term in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is zero and pH equals pKa.
For a spontaneous process at constant temperature and pressure, what must be true of ΔG?ΔG must be negative. At constant T and P, the sign of ΔG determines spontaneity, so ΔH alone cannot decide it.
For a second-order reaction with rate = k[A]^2, what happens to the rate if [A] is doubled?The rate quadruples. Doubling [A] multiplies [A]^2 by four, so the rate increases by a factor of four.
In a galvanic cell, which electrode is the anode?The electrode where oxidation occurs. Electrons are released there and travel through the external circuit to the cathode.
True or false: adding a common ion to a saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt increases its molar solubility.False. The common-ion effect shifts the dissolution equilibrium toward the undissolved solid, which lowers molar solubility.

Questions from your material

Generate questions from the chapters, lecture slides and notes you already study, so practice matches your course.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation of why the correct answer is right, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson.

Spaced review of missed items

Turn the questions into flashcards with spaced repetition so the reactions and equilibria you miss come back on schedule.

How it works

Upload your gen chem material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page from your textbook or class notes.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, depending on how you want to practice.

Work through the set and review

Answer the questions in your browser, read the explanations, and revisit the ones you missed.

General chemistry on the MCAT rewards applying concepts, not just recalling them. Reworking questions on acid-base equilibria, thermodynamics, kinetics and electrochemistry from your own sources helps you see where a concept breaks down in a new setting.

Explanations matter as much as the question. When each answer shows why the correct choice works and the others do not, you can check your reasoning rather than memorize a letter.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I practice general chemistry questions before the MCAT?

Short, regular sessions usually work better than one long cram session. Spend time reviewing every wrong answer, since that is where most of the learning happens.

Which general chemistry topics appear most often on the MCAT?

MCAT general chemistry covers topics such as acids and bases, equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry and reaction stoichiometry. Check the official MCAT content outline for the current weighting.

Can I export the generated questions?

Yes, on paid plans. PDF and DOCX export and Anki and CSV export are included on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you can start without entering a credit card.
