Yes, starting your IELTS preparation now is a smart choice. With your aim to pursue a master's in Singapore or Ireland for the January 2028 intake, beginning early gives you plenty of time to improve your skills and achieve a strong band score.

Early preparation also allows for a stress-free timeline, including the option for retakes if needed. Typical application deadlines are between August and October 2027, so completing your IELTS by July 2027 is ideal.

If you need a personalized study plan or guidance for your IELTS journey, your LeapScholar counsellor can support you throughout the process.
