MDCAT Logical Reasoning Syllabus 2026 — 9 MCQs (5%)
Logical Reasoning is one of the two smallest sections of the MDCAT — 9 MCQs, the same as English — covering analogies, syllogisms, and analytical pattern questions. With so few marks on offer, the return on drilling this syllabus is less about raw score and more about not losing easy marks to unfamiliar question formats on exam day.
