MDCAT 2011
220 questions, every answer verified. Free to try.
ℹ️ All 220 questions available. Where the old UHS key contradicts clear science, the scientifically correct answer is used and explained; obvious misprints in formulas are corrected.
When the official key is wrong, we say so.
Every answer here is checked against the official key published for that paper. Where the key and the subject disagree — and on some papers that happens dozens of times — we mark the answer the science supports, and the explanation on that question says plainly that we have departed from the key and why. One paper's published key turned out to belong to a different paper code entirely.
Where a question cannot be resolved at all — an unreadable scan, a missing diagram, an option the original paper never printed — we switch it off rather than guess, and the paper's own note tells you how many are missing and which. That is why a paper can read 218 of 220 instead of a tidy 100%: the number is the truth about the paper, not a target.

Sample questions from MDCAT 2011
Three questions from the 2011 paper. Try each before opening the answer, then sit the full paper above for a score.
- Q1 · MDCAT 2011 · Measurements
When the dimensions of both sides of an equation are equal, then the equation is said to be
- A.Simultaneous
- B.Homologous
- C.Instantaneous
- D.Quadratic
Show answer
Answer: B. Homologous — When both sides of an equation have identical dimensions, the equation is dimensionally consistent — the textbook term for this is 'dimensionally homogeneous', printed here as 'Homologous'.
- Q2 · MDCAT 2011 · Atomic Structure
In mass spectrometer, detector or collector measures the:
- A.Masses of isotopes
- B.Percentages of isotopes
- C.Relative abundances of isotopes
- D.Mass numbers of isotopes
Show answer
Answer: C. Relative abundances of isotopes — In a mass spectrometer, the detector measures the relative abundance (relative intensity/proportion) of each isotope reaching it, not their absolute masses directly.
- Q3 · MDCAT 2011 · Formal and Lexical Aspect of Language
She managed to __________ a ticket for the cricket match.
- A.Procure
- B.Obscure
- C.Improvise
- D.Preclude
Show answer
Answer: A. Procure — 'Procure' fits best — it means to obtain something, especially with effort, matching 'managed to ___ a ticket'.
