Bio1B in summer school is also a very popular option because the material isn't so hard that the increased pace of summer school makes it impossible, and you get it out of the way.

You should take Chem before Bio.

it's good if you take Chem1A, Chem3 series, Bio1A/L, Bio1B, and Physics series. Of course, you don't NEED to take any classes before you take the MCAT; plenty of people have done perfectly okay preparing for the exam using outside materials without having finished taking all the classes.

I just finished my sophomore year and I am studying for MCAT this summer, right now. My test date is this September.
Just so you know, I finished all the science pre-reqs, and let me tell you, it REALLY helps that I have taken them. I don't have to relearn the material since it's I have taken the material. I do have to review everything I learned, though which sucks. Anyways, try to finish all your prereqs before you start studying for the MCAT.
