2.10) Does it matter whether I take the MCAT in April or August?
If you are prepared for the exam, it's probably best to take it in
April. Taking the test earlier allows you to complete your
application early in the season--and the earlier you submit your
application, the better. Also, If you are applying under an early
decision program, you *must* take the April MCAT of that year (or
any time prior) so that test scores are available in time for early
interviews. Of course, there is also an advantage to taking it in
August: it allows you more time to study. You can take the exam in
August and still apply for the same application season, but you'll
be running a tight time-schedule. Keep in mind that it takes
approximately 8 weeks for scores to get back to the schools.
