When to sign up for onsite course & MCAT date if planning to take over summer

My plan is to take the MCAT in August of 2013. I plan on taking an onsite course summer 2013 through Kaplan. I noticed that Kaplan has already released their schedule of classes for summer. However, I would like to wait until the 2013 MCAT dates are released to sign up for an exact course. Does anyone know when AAMC will release the test dates and registration deadlines for 2013? Would signing up for a Kaplan summer onsite course in December of this year be too late? Would they run out of seats? Someone please answer me, I am a little bit paranoid about not being able to gain enrollment if I register for a class in December...

Check all of this year's dates for estimates of next year's dates. They'll line up pretty closely. A difference of a few days in when the course ends and when your test is won't make a difference.

As for the Kaplan course, talk to your local office. They'll have better ideas about when and if courses fill up, because this varies from region to region.

Mayish.

@serenade: is that the month around when kaplan courses usually gets full? So December wouldnt be too late then?

I've signed up for a Kaplan On-Site Course going from October - January. Is it a bad thing that I plan on taking the MCAT in August?
