  • 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
