What are some classes other than the requirements that would prepare you for the new MCATs?

In addition, I have the option of taking Biochem or Genetics... Which would be more useful?
 
You will need biochem. They added an entire new section to test material from that course. Additionally, you must have intro sociology and psychology, as they also added sections for those. Any upper division science or psych will give you a leg up, but don't go too out of your way to squeeze in too many extra classes.
 
Cell bio and molecular bio are a few good ones for the bio portion. They seem to be putting more emphasis on the cellular level of organisms.
 
No exam prepares you for the MCAT. You will still have to study for all associated topics for the exam. Biochem would obviously be more useful because it is the main focus that is being added to the exam. A simple Google search would've told you that.
 
Also, the thing about the 2015 MCAT is that no has taken it before. Everything everyone knows about the exam can be found via Google.
