Thread: Help me create a self study syllabus for science & math basics

Hi, I'm interested in the sciences, but my background in math and science is a little weak. I need to self study, because in college you're expected to know some basics already. So I was wondering if I could get some help in creating a syllabus or a study plan to learn some of the basics. now i know that the fields of science are very broad and diverse, and that eventually I will need to pick one specific field and specialize. but isn't there a way I can be a "jack of all trades"? i would like to go to medical school, so a way for me to do well in the science courses in school and also to totally destroy the MCAT.

im planning on switching majors (im currently bio major), but if i switch to something easier, i can devote more time to self studying even during the school year. then i'll take about a semester of a year of as much science and math courses as I can. or if i can work on my weak areas (basic math n science) for 1 semester, then i can stay a bio major or even switch to chemistry / physics then finish up.

self study syllabus or plan for math and science:

*semester one: math and bio (bio doesn't require much math)
===================

math: part I
-times tables
-adding, sub, div, mult long digits
-finding percents, decimals
-fractions
------------------
math: part II
-algebra
-pre-calc

bio:
not sure where to go

semester two: chem and physics (these two are math intensive)
=====================
chem:
not sure where to go

physics:
not sure where to go

foot note:
*semester here is different from school semester. it could be like 5 weeks or something. just my own personal time frame.

Why do you want to switch from biology and still go to med school?

Most of what you plan to study is high school? What grade are in?

i was informed that one can go to medical school regardless of major, so i'm considering switching to an "easier" major to get higher grades while i self study outside of school to improve my math and science skills

Hi,
I feel if you want to excel in these 2 subjects, you must avail tutoring services. Nowadays, there are many online tutoring services which provide free online coaching for different subjects. Recently, i came across a website which might be useful to you. The name of this site is Online Math Tutor.
