There are two key elements of preparing for the MCAT test:
First, you should use a MCAT test study guide or set of MCAT test flashcards to be sure that you understand the test material and concepts that are covered.
Second, you should test yourself on MCAT practice tests so that you are familiar with the test process. Many students that know the material will struggle when taking the test, simply because they aren't good test takers and do not have much experience with taking important standardized tests.
