  • It's a good idea to start your GRE and IELTS preparation at least 3-6 months before your planned test date. This will give you enough time to study and practice, identify areas of weakness, and make improvements. Here is a sample timetable for GRE and IELTS preparation:
    Weeks 1-2: Diagnostic Test and Goal Setting
    Take a diagnostic test for GRE and IELTS to identify your strengths and weaknesses
    Set a target score for both exams
    Create a study plan and schedule to cover all sections of the test
    Weeks 3-8: Content Review and Practice
    Focus on building your foundational skills in math, English and analytical thinking
    Review GRE and IELTS content

    Hi Tushar,
    There is no hard-fast rule and a rigid time table for tests like these, 6 to 7 hours a day will be enough depending on your routine, you must club your preparation along with your studies.

MIT is very selective and applicants must demonstrate an

Not always. If you have completed your Bachelor's degree where the instruction language was English (like in India engineering colleges), you might get an IELTS exemption. You just need to show a certificate from your old college saying you studied in English. But checking specific requirements on universityadmissions.se is important.
