I took mine on June 25/27, before I even started my internship on July 1. I studied a couple hours a day for about 2 weeks, and I passed just fine. I am sure you will, too. Of course, if you wait until the end of the intern year, you might be able to pull off a really stellar score, but I, personally, would rather take a few points off just to have the thing out of the way. I hope this helps.
