How to prepare for GRE, GMAT, TOEFL & IELTS? How much should I score to get the best universities abroad?

Leave at least 4–6 weeks. Scores take 4–8 days to show online. Universities need 1–2 weeks more to process. Book your test early so results reach on time.

Pick a weekday morning slot if possible. You feel fresh and alert. Avoid weekends if crowds stress you. Choose a date when you are fully prepared and relaxed.

Book 2–3 months ahead. Peak months (August–November) fill very fast in India. Early slots give better centres and dates. Avoid last-minute rush.
