Does Math 1LS3 really prepare you for MCAT?

The math component in mcat is not easy, and looking at what they are teaching in math 1LS3, I really dont think this math course will prepare you well for mcat, what do u guys think?

Erm...there is no math component on the MCAT...
But there is bio, orgo, gen chem, and physics.
And verbal.
But no math.

...and no calculators...:.((((( (((((

Lattice multiplication.
Having a calculator isn't really necessary if you can do that and short division

But yeah. The only math on the MCAT is indirectly through physics and gen chem.

No. Because you don't need calculus for the MCAT.

You need to be able to set up and solve equations that you find in courses like Physics 1B03/1BB3 and Chemistry 1A03/1AA3.
