Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on when I should take the MCAT. My expected graduation date is December 2012, and I hope to matriculate into medical school in the following Fall. I'm a little concerned on when I should take the test. I was advised to take it in the summer, a year before you plan to apply. In that case, I plan to prepare this year and take it Summer 2012. Any suggestions?

This sounds like a good plan. However, Keep in mind that applying early is best. Therefore, if you can be ready to take MCAT before Summer then this would put you in the best position. If you can't take it before the summer, you might try visiting the webpages of the schools that you are applying to and look if they recommend when applicants take the MCAT. Generally, you should plan to take the MCAT no later than August.
