There are numerous threads on this, and you can use the search function. Alternatively, you can check out the master MCAT thread in the stickies, which has pretty much everything you could ever want including a link to the AAMC comprehensive topic list: Compilation - MCAT Study Plans and MCAT Study Strategies

Orgo 1/2

Psych and sociology can be learned by online MCAT material (Khans notes).

I actually improved AAMC FL P/S score from 125 to 128 with just watching crash course on YouTube... a lot less thorough, a lot less time and a lot more entertaining than Khan Academy.

MCAT biochem can also be learned pretty effectively from Kaplan, and you could trim Orgo 2 in favor of semester or two of A&P or Physiology. There's a lot of "bio" on the MCAT that is really A&P. But overall good list.
