Scientific Notation Without A Calculator, Use scientific notation to answer general chemistry and physics questions in the MCAT quickly and without a calculator.
Course Description
In this course, you will review the basics of scientific notation and learn how to select – not calculate – the correct answers to high yield questions on the MCAT. Course videos cover:
- Writing large and small numbers in scientific notation.
- Converting numbers to and from scientific notation.
- Adding and subtracting numbers in scientific notation.
- “Bending” the rules of scientific notation to make calculations easier.
- Smart approximation to select – not calculate – the correct answer.
