Getting Ready
How soon before you plan to enter school should you take your entrance exams? That depends on the schools to which you’re applying and the course of study you plan to pursue.
A good general recommendation for finishing overall registration for exams is to have it completed approximately one year before enrollment, especially for more competitive schools. Since some entrance exams are given only 2-4 times a year, and the deadline for registration is often far in advance of the test date, it’s wise to begin research as early as possible.
