If you had a month left for the MCAT exam...

Assume that you have already gone through most/all of the Kaplan/ExamKrackers/BR/TPR preparatory material and have taken all the AAMC practice tests. You still have four weeks before the exam. What would you do to prepare? Are there any specific topics / formulas that need revision, more than others? Which cheat sheets ( from the 4 companies mentioned above ) yield most bang for the time spent on them?

You should be doing MCAT questions, not cheat sheets.

Sorry I meant Kaplan flashcards, not cheat sheets. Wrong term

still applies, my point was you don't need content review if you've done that much, you just need to keep doing questions, and review whatever content you don't know based on your performance. Reviewing your questions should take at least twice as long as doing them. Make sure you're getting the Qs right for the right reasons. Maybe go through questions and not only try to figure out the answer, but try and come up with the explanation for why each other choice is wrong. If you've done as much as you say you have with 1 month still to go, you should be able to do MCAT questions in your sleep by test day.
