Would like to start a career in trading, found an internship in risk... should I take the series exams now?

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be appropriate to take the series exams now( that are relevant for trading at BB)? or should I wait until and if I get a full time offer in trading.

I thought have one or two series exams would make me more attractive to employers.
I won't be able to look for an internship next year, because I'm graduating next semester... so I will go straight for full time...

What do you think?

Thanks.
