AAMC Question Pack Advice

I wanted to ask advice on AAMC materials from people who have already taken the MCAT. I have done all 3 section banks and am 100% going to be able to finish all of the CARS materials and the 3 tests AAMC gives by test day (March 31).

My question was concerning the question packs. I have only done the Bio 1 question pack, and I'm torn between spending time doing the question packs for chemistry and physics or re-taking 2 of the section banks (p/s and bio/bchm). I'm starting to run out of time and am going to stop doing questions like the week before my exam and focus on reviewing hardcore formulas, terms, etc. so that only leaves me about a week and a half (on top of school/research). What do you guys advise? Do some of the question packs and re-take the section banks? Do all of the question packs and maybe not re-take the section banks?

Of all the AAMC materials, the QPacks are the least representative of the new exam, so I would say re-do the Section Banks and make sure you understand exactly how the test-makers got the correct answer. That is probably higher yielding than doing the QPacks, which really only test your content knowledge. I would, however, make an exception for the CARS QPacks and go through those.
