Yes, you can prepare for the IELTS exam and MEXT scholarship applications at the same time.

The MEXT scholarship application deadlines for the 2027 intake are typically between April and June 2026 (subject to change). IELTS exams are available throughout the year, so you can plan your test around the scholarship timeline.

To manage both:
- Start IELTS preparation early and aim to complete the test before the MEXT application period.
- Gather required documents (transcripts, recommendation letters, research proposal) while preparing for IELTS.

Planning ahead will help you meet both requirements smoothly. If you need help coordinating your timeline, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
