Theory in Action

The MCAT often asks you to apply psychological and social theories to novel scenarios. Practice matching concepts (like conformity or cultural norms) to situations described in passages or questions. Explain your reasoning clearly and use evidence from the passage to support your answer.

Strategies

• Familiarize yourself with major theories and their definitions.
• Practice with question banks that require application, not just recall.
• Justify your choices using logic and passage details.
