Great that you are planning it out this early, it definitely won't hurt. It is a good idea to prepare for the GMAT, while you have more time and still fresh from school.

Wish you all the best!

Not only does it not matter how old the score is within the 5 year period, but the sooner you take it the better. Folks tend to score higher the closer they are to undergraduate. Get it out of the way and move on. It is great that you are planning ahead.

Best,
Scott

What Scott said. I recently heard an admissions officer encourage candidates to take the GMAT directly upon graduation when still in school-mode.
