Using Kaplan Materials to Prepare for the MCCEE

Kaplan materials relevant to preparation for the MCCEE from the USMLE Step 1 program include the following:

1. Physiology
   • Cardiovascular system
   • Respiratory system—mainly equations and graphs
   • Endocrinology
2. Pathology—mainly for the slide interpretation
3. Biochemistry—particularly enzymes
4. Genetics—mainly DNA, RNA structures and mechanisms
5. Biostatistics—especially for formulas and calculations
