This time of year I'm commonly asked when the best time to set up a mock interview with me is.
I would recommend arranging your practice session(s) with me in the month prior to your first interview. Whether you complete the mock interview(s) weeks in advance or the day before depends on how you best retain information.
More important than when you practice is that you simply do. The NRMP Program Directors' Survey, my experience at Harvard, and my work with hundreds of Insider clients all reinforce the critical nature of the interview in assessing an applicant's candidacy.
If you are planning to hire me, please do so as soon as you get that first interview invitation. My slots go very quickly, and although I try to accommodate everyone I can, I am currently scheduling several weeks in advance because of high demand.
