The WikiPremed MCAT Course - WikiPremed is a creative commons licensed online course I originally created for undergraduate level premedical students, but it is also relevant to high school age students pursuing an advanced placement level science curriculum in a home school or learner-centered environment.  WikiPremed presents a self-paced comprehensive course in college level physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and biology.  The entire course is available with completely open access online at www.wikipremed.com.   It has taken many years to create this learning program.  If you investigate the WikiPremed MCAT Course you will find that it is an enormous work.  Everything is available without registration including a treasure trove of learning materials and over 100 hours of course video.
