How long will it take to prepare for and complete the required exams like IELTS or GMAT for admission in Germany for a Master's?
31 Jul 2026 · Answered by Muskan Vashishtha · 1 min read
You should plan for 2 to 3 months of focused preparation for the IELTS exam, as this is typically required for master's programs in Germany - especially in architecture. The GMAT is generally not needed for your field.
- Weeks 1 - 3: Build grammar and vocabulary, understand the IELTS format.
- Weeks 4 - 7: Practice section-specific strategies for reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
- Weeks 8 - 10: Take full-length practice tests under timed conditions.
Start with a diagnostic test to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and practice consistently, especially in weaker areas.
