MCAT vs GRE

I'm planning on writing the MCAT in 2015 but am also planning on doing the GRE as well. Does anyone have any advice on how different these two exams are and if I prepare for the MCAT, will that be sufficient for the GRE? Any tips on studying for both?

Also, I will have taken Introductory Psychology, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, along with Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Genetics. I'll also have finished some higher Physics and Calculus courses as well. I know those aren't specifically too relevant, but after all of this, I will not have completed any Sociology or Physiology. Does anyone how hard these two subjects are to self-study for for the MCAT? Would anyone NOT recommend working full- or part-time while studying for these two exams? How about possibly taking a Physiology course concurrently with studying?

Thanks!

Also, does anyone know if vet schools specifically require the Biology GRE or the general GRE? Does it vary? Is it best to take both if one is looking for vet schools? How different is the content from the MCAT and the Biology and/or general GRE?
