    MCAT CARS Passage Breakdown: Why Humans Invented the Wheel (And Animals Didn't)

    01/04/2026 | 32 mins.
    Why did humans invent the wheel when animals never did? And what does a running spider have to do with your CARS score?

    In this Jack Westin CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Usher and Molly break down the daily CARS passage "Wheels" (April 1st) sentence by sentence. This passage blends history, evolutionary biology, and a surprisingly entertaining argument about why human legs are, well, mid. Together they show you how to stay engaged with a fun passage without letting your reactions pull you off track.
