Since there are limited old exams (like it used to be back in the day), I thought folks might find a thread like this useful.
Here’s what I’m using based on subject:
Psychology - Quizlet MCAT Psych
Sociology - Quizlet MCAT Socio
Biology - EK Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Biology
Chemistry, Physics, Organic Chemistry - The Berkeley Review
Advanced Bio subjects (Micro, Biochem, ect) - Quizlet (based on subject) and my old textbooks (especially for physiology)
Verbal - EK and Princeton Review (for practice problems only)
I’d love to see what everyone is using as a resource(s) too!! 
I’m using a lot of Khan to reinforce concepts as well. For example, most of my incorrect answers on the AAMC practice test were in the 5D concept category, so I watched all of the 5D videos and took notes.
The videos that were specifically made for the MCAT are way better than the old KA videos they just co-opted for the MCAT series. They’re more to the point.
I’ve been working my way through the new Khan Academy MCAT lectures and I’ll supplement with the Kaplan content books with Examkrackers questions. I’ve been doing Kaplan’s Question a Day and MPrep’s MCAT Question of the Day. The psych and biochem review is part of already identified weaknesses with those questions.
I’m trying to decide when to use AAMC’s questions since there are so few so I was going to start with those daily questions and content review and add in the practice test as the test gets closer. I missed getting into April, May and June MCAT test dates so I will be aiming for a July date if I have to get up in the middle of the night to get scheduled!

You took the 2014 MCAT practice tests which are VERY different than the new MCAT… there is ONLY 1 (yes, 1) practice test by AAMC for the new MCAT.
Given that you already took the old exam in late January, you slightly more prepared but the questions are different. I’m sure you’ll be okay but for someone who has not had the previous prep, I’d caution on sending them to the old MCAT style and practice tests.
Okay I’m taking the April MCAT (less than 20 days… but I’m not counting). Here’s my prep material/schedule:
Fall 2014 - Cell Bio, Ochem I, and Phys I courses
Spring 2015 - finish remaining courses (Ochem II and Phys II)
January-February: Use the MPrep course (http://www.mcatquestion.com/ecourse.php - no, this isn’t sponsored). I would recommend this is you need a broad review and like to work self-paced. I didn’t need as much of the detailed subject matter learning, as I felt I had a good foundation from classes, but I like the review videos. If you like Khan Academy, this may be for you. There is an extensive Q-Bank that you can also purchase stand-alone access to. All in all, I think if I could do it again, I would have stuck with free Khan Academy and the Q-Bank subscription only. But at the time I purchased it (last fall) the Khan videos weren’t as extensive and no practice passages, so I did it for the access to materials. The course also comes with a code for the AAMC official practice test (or you can buy that alone from AAMC, obviously). This was ~$1000 when I purchased the course. I would NOT recommend this if you think you need a structured, formal, classroom system. But I think for non-grads, the format is really great and flexible.
March: Spot review where I found weaknesses using the Kaplan 7 Book series (~$150). I received it as a gift and while most of the info is duplicated from (literally) Wikipedia, it is concise and, again, has practice questions. 3 tests online and additional practice passages. I also bought a Princeton Review book for the access to their 3 practice exam (~$30).
Currently: Finishing the Q-Bank (see above) and I also purchased the AAMC practice sets - the first was $10 and came with their “learn all about the new MCAT” book (the book = useless). I recently also purchased the question set they published last month - $72. I haven’t started it yet (tomorrow!) but I’ve been ramping up to their official bank by finishing all my other resources and switching my focus to AAMC materials for the last hard push, as the AAMC material is clearly the best indication of what’s on the test.
For practice tests, I took the official AAMC test in late January. In mid-February, I started taking 1 full exam approximately every week. I’ve taken 5 total and have 3 more (re-taking the AAMC test at the very end because I don’t remember it, 1 Kaplan, and 1 Princeton Review).
Hope that helped expose you to some new resources you didn’t know about! I think my biggest recommendation is just to find passages and start them from the beginning. I wish I had done less discrete questions (like you’ll find at Kaplan end of chapters) and focused more on passages. Once you get the hang of how to read/grapple with the passages, the practice becomes much more productive.
Perhaps I wasn’t clear… When I say the official AAMC test, I am obviously referring to the new version which came out in January. I am not taking practice tests of the old version. Also, Kaplan and Princeton review each have versions of the new test. While they aren’t the official AAMC, they’re better than nothing. I definitely am not sending anyone to take old tests. I think you mis-read.

I did not misread anything. Clearly you stated that you took the Official AAMC test in late January - so official 2014 Exam or a practice exam?
Before you adjudicate someone to misreading something, you should probably make sure you didn’t write poor English. Not split hairs or anything.
I guess the clause, “For practice tests,” was not clearly modifying “the official AAMC test.” I think it lies in having mentioned purchasing the test previously which you may not have read.
Before you make harsh comments on my poor English, please be aware that me writing “I think you mis-read” was not meant to be a personal attack.
meg2999, I agree with you on the passages. At some point (for me, at least) it became more about tackling the passages, learning to read them, learning to get my timing down, etc. with passages vs. stand alone questions. I took the AAMC practice test about 6 weeks and just retook it. I’m focusing on the concepts I got wrong both times.
