Most people: 3-4 months. I would recommend that you start at t=-6 months to maximise your score. Use the last two weeks only to do old exams and to get your 'pace' up-to-speed.

The MCAT covers material that most students take in the first and second year of university in the U.S.A. Here are the courses represented:
1. General and inorganic chemistry
2. Organic chemistry
3. Physics (non-calculus)
4. General biology

In addition, there is also a verbal reasoning section and a section where you must write two essays. The verbal reasoning section is generally the hardest to improve if you have a problem with it, and so I advise taking a practice diagnostic test in MCAT verbal before starting to do serious preparation.
