How to Do Electron Configuration on the McAt

On the MCAT, you're also likely to see electron configuration given in noble gas notation. And essentially what noble gas notation does is it condenses the electron configuration up to a certain noble gas into the abbreviation for that noble gas in brackets.

But yeah, I think it's very important you actually practice a few problems.
