- Functional groups
- IUPAC nomenclature
- Isomerism (structural & stereo)
- Reaction mechanisms
- Inductive & resonance effects
How Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry Is Tested
MDCAT questions on Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry are a mix of recall (definitions, classifications), application (predict outcomes, interpret diagrams), and basic numerical/analytical reasoning. PMDC papers from 2020–2025 emphasized the concepts above; older UHS papers (2008–2019) tested them too, with slight variations in question framing.
