## What is MCAT Chemistry Simulations?

Interactive Simulations That Make MCAT Chemistry Stick. Stop Memorizing. Start Visualizing. The MCAT doesn’t test plug-and-chug. It tests reasoning.

Our chemistry sims help you:
• Build intuitive understanding you can apply across passages
• Master cause-and-effect thinking (Le Châtelier, kinetics shifts, pH changes)
• Visualize reactions dynamically, not just as static equations
• Easy, medium and hard practice questions
• Strengthen memory through interactive experimentation, not passive reading
• Reduce study time by replacing hours of memorization with minutes of simulation

Perfect for MCAT prep sections involving:
• General Chemistry
• Biochemistry foundations
• Acid–base chemistry
• Reaction energetics
• Kinetics & equilibria in biological systems
• Passage-based data interpretation

This app is designed by a cognitive science team and chemical engineers specialized in science education. It uses a learning framework designed to be 700% better at teaching STEM than current simulations and animated modules for STEM learning, backed by cognitive research from Columbia University! It’s currently focused on the core units of Kinetics, Equilibrium , Acids Bases and Stoichiometry, with more units to come!

KEY FEATURES:
* Interactive Simulations *
Tap, drag or shake to navigate through simulations and activities related to the rate of reactions, equilibrium, acids, bases, and more!

* Beautiful Visuals *
Awesome visuals that make your learning experience much more interesting. Preparing for your AP has never been easier.

* Equations and Graphs *
Difficult graphs and equations are visualized seamlessly with a beautiful beaker animation.

* Different Reactions *
Repeat the experiments as many times as you want and with different reactions to better understand how some things might change depending on the reaction.

* Quizzes (+250 questions) *
Get very detailed and thorough explanations for each possible answer. Choose the difficulty that better fits you and test your knowledge.

* Guided Experience *
Beaky the beaker will guide you through the simulation and explain key concepts and equations as you go along. Seamlessly navigate between units and different activities, all within the same app.

For Students In:
• MCAT Prep
• General Chemistry I & II
• Introductory Bio & Biochemistry
• Pre-med & Pre-health pathways

### 5/5 — Coming from a chemistry tutor of 7+ years

*2021-09-23*

This app is on a whole other level of visual intuitiveness and descriptive learning of advanced chemical processes.

Never before have I seen so many crucial chemical mechanisms fully connected and visually expressed together in an interactive demonstration.

Watching the processes unfold visually, and in real-time, even had ME learning new concepts and connections between the very fundamental principles I have been teaching for years. 

The practice quizzes at the end of each module are so incredibly helpful and beneficial in facilitating effective learning of what was just demonstrated and learned.

This app will now be my first go-to resource for helping my students learn kinetics, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry! Just, amazing.

### 5/5 — Smart, beautiful, engaging design!

*2021-09-23*

This app is very smartly designed. The graphics, plots, and equations are beautiful and make the topics engaging. The quizzes give you thorough feedback and really cement your learning. I like how you are led through by ‘Beaky’ in small bite-sized chunks. You can tell it’s been well crafted and thought through by someone with a PhD combining education and technology from an Ivy League school. I wish I had something like this for my finance students!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2021-09-17*

Helps make the hardest Chemistry graphs and concepts easy to visualize and it’s free if you can’t afford it! The little beaker guides you so you don’t lost like with other simulations and it explains all the equations. Highly recommend(:

### 5/5 — This app saved my AP score

*2021-05-10*

Going through the activities and quizzes in the app served me perfectly as a quick way to recap everything I’ve been studying (the beautiful visuals help a lot to make it easy looking). I even cleared up some doubts I had about the Units. Can’t wait for other Units to be released!

### 5/5 — Visualizes concepts and graphs clearly with clear explanations!

*2021-05-08*

This app really makes understanding the graphs for reaction rates super easy! Zero, first and second order reactions and catalysts are broken down and each graph is visualized with a beaker animation! I love how interactive it is. This little beaker explains each concept step by step so you don’t get lost in all the different experiments you can run! The quizzes help link the visuals to actual AP Chemistry concepts and have detailed explanations! I can’t wait for this app for all my units, it’s gonna really help me prepare for my exams :-)
