I am currently a junior and have taken Gen Chem I and II, Orgo I and II, Physics I and II, 2 Intro Bio classes, and am currently in BioChem I with plans to take II next semester.

What I would like to do is finish out my junior year with excellent grades and enroll in a MCAT class starting in early June and ending in early August which would prepare me for a test in mid-late August. I would complete my applications and submit them as early as possible and send my MCAT score from that August test as soon as I receive it. However, the problem that I encounter is that if I would like to take the exam again, I would be taking it in January of 2015, which as all of you know would be the new test. I fear that taking two different tests would not serve as an accurate comparison. Many people have suggested taking a class and prepping for the exam during my spring semester and taking an April exam and if necessary then possibly one in August. However, I would be taking 18 credits while working 20+ hours a week so I do not see it feasible to add MCAT prep to that and expecting to excel in all three.

Not sure what to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
January 2015 is still going to be the old test as of last time I checked. They're not doing the change to the new exam until "spring" of 2015, but I'm not sure if they've nailed down an exact date of change yet.
