BMAT Section 2 Overview

BMAT Section 2 tests your ability to apply scientific and mathematical knowledge. It comprises 27 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 30 minutes, covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. Strong foundational knowledge and quick problem-solving are key.

Biology Focus Areas

Key topics include: Cell biology (organelles, mitosis, meiosis, enzymes), genetics (DNA structure, inheritance, variation, mutation), physiology (gas exchange, circulation, nervous system, homeostasis), and disease.

Chemistry Focus Areas

Expect questions on: Atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, mole calculations, energetics, reaction rates, equilibria, redox reactions, and fundamental organic chemistry (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids).

Physics Focus Areas

Core areas include: Mechanics (forces, motion, energy, power), electricity (circuits, current, voltage, resistance), waves (properties, sound, light), radioactivity (types of decay, half-life), and thermal physics (heat transfer, specific heat capacity).

Mathematics Focus Areas

Mathematical skills are applied across scientific contexts: Algebra (manipulating equations, solving for unknowns), number (percentages, ratios, standard form, significant figures), geometry (areas, volumes, basic trigonometry), and data interpretation.
