I'm not advocating the use of these sources as your primary study guides, but I'm linking them as resources for when you need additional info on something and aren't getting anywhere by staring at that page in your EK/TBR/KAP/TPR review book.

I think that creating a directory of these will be helpful, no?

I needed some help with some physics understanding and wikipremed led me to this site:

http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/physics/index.html

Great tool for understanding some stuff.

Here's another good resource, MIT Open Courseware:

Orgo I anyone?
Boom!
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemistry/5-12-organic-chemistry-i-spring-2005/lecture-handouts/

Orgo II anyone?
Double boom!
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemistry/5-13-organic-chemistry-ii-fall-2006/lecture-notes/

There's also physics (both the intros), chem (same), Bio (same). I haven't looked at bio since what is covered varies based on UG institution and I think that the review books provide more than enough info as there's really nothing that's mind bogglingly difficult to understand conceptually in intro bio.

Wikipremed is talked about quite often on here:
http://www.wikipremed.com/

Wikipedia's good for some stuff as well, but most of it gets too detailed as the bored PHD students come in and do all sorts of calc stuff on things that need to be simple for the MCAT.

Got any more?

(some links are not particularly MCAT geared but maybe useful if you like to read advanced papers and stay current on medical topics. Maybe useful for you if you are trying to gain better analytical understanding of complicated experiment-based passages -specially uptodate.com)

This is a really good read for muscular forces and levers.

I know there was a decent sized thread on this topic awhile ago, but I can't find it right now.
