In the past, I had tutored students Physics to review for the MCAT--it is definitely not the right level of Physics to prepare for the Physics GRE. From what I remember, it basically covers the minimum physics required to get into med school, which is high school physics and one or two semesters of freshman physics. Here is a list of "useful MCAT physics equations" I found by Google, which is a good way to gauge the material covered:

It's true that you will need to know all of this stuff to do well on the Physics GRE, but the majority of the MCAT Physics will be far below the level of Physics needed in the PGRE.
