Should I take the MCat early, once I'm done with the preperaing bio/chem/phys courses or should I wait?

Question

Should I wait untill the year that I apply for med school? I could finish it early while the material is fresh in my mind, or wait untill I finish my BA and go to med school (2years), but if I take it too early will I be needed to retake it or its ok for like 5 years?
Thank you

There is more to the MCAT than just biology, chemistry, and physics.
Scores are reported in each of the following areas: Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences, Writing Sample, and Biological Sciences.
There are study aids available for the MCAT's just like there are for the SAT's. You should understand that the scores you receive on this will effect the med school you go to, as they will be looking at the scores for consideration of admittance not to mention every med student worth their salt will be cramming for this effectively raising the bar.
This is a very important step in your medical career and the time and effort put into this should reflect it.

You should also be talking with the director of your Pre-Med program, that is why he is there.
