Having been there and done that, I agree with the others that practice tests will help, along with books designed for MCAT preparation.
What concerns me is that you think you have a full schedule now and can't find time to prepare. Medical school is twice the information in half the time. It's not terribly difficult, it's just more than you can imagine, with professors that demand near perfection. Combine that with nights on call, patients who don't cooperate, nurses/interns/senior residents who have you do their scut work for them.... medical school is no walk in the park.
You need to find a way to fit the MCAT prep into your schedule,or you'll never survive medical school (and residency, and medical practice)

study as hard and as long as you can...
The test is a monster take as many practice tests as you can. Go to a local book store and buy one of those huge MCAT books and also buy a book full of practice tests. Study in your free time and then every weekend take a practice test

KAPLAN course if you can afford it. Its pretty expensive and cost well over 1000 bucks... other than that, there is a free route and actually you can end up making money as you study. Through my own experiences, the best way to study to remained refreshed on a subject is to teach others. Offer yourself as a low cost tutor so you get more students to teach. The more you teach other, the more you will learn yourself

Well you are in school, isn't that studing for the MCATS?
Unless you are taking some classes that don't apply (wasting time), in which case does it really matter what grade you get in them?
