the latest would be the latest your school will allow you to take it.

I had a pretty good step 1 score so I took it at the end of January so I would not have to worry about it... the only reason I would consider taking it earlier with a good step 1 is if you have some clinical grade weakness esp. in medicine... then you might be able to argue that you have improved since then in your clinical knowledge.

Thanks, this helps a lot. So, it doesn't necessarily need to be sent to the schools before Match Day?

no. you do not send the scores anywhere and it is not automatically released.
