Hi guys! I'm trying to figure out when I take the DAT.

These are the courses that I have taken so far and the classes that I'm registered to take that are relevant to this discussion:

Fall 2010:
Gen Chem 1 + Lab
Pre-calc

Spring 2011:
Gen Chem 2 + Lab
Bio 1 + Lab
Calc

Summer 2011:
Stats

Fall 2011:
Orgo 1
Physics 1

Spring 2012:
Orgo 1 Lab
Orgo 2
Bio 2 + Lab

Summer 2012:
Orgo 2 Lab
Microbio + Lab
Physics 2 + Lab

Fall 2012:
Biochem + Lab
Cell Bio + Lab

I'm currently a sophomore, so I know that I have plenty of time to take it. I'm worried about forgetting my gen chem and orgo if I procrastinate it too long.

Any advice?

I would push all the labs you're taking this coming summer to some later time and take the DAT this summer - since everything (esp. orgo) is relatively still fresh in your mind. By doing this, you don't have to rush your DAT in the summer of 2013 and apply for that coming cycle early... Just my 2 cent.
