Yes, starting IELTS and GRE preparation early - even while you are still studying - is highly recommended. Both exams require strong language, analytical, and time-management skills that benefit from consistent practice over time.

Early preparation helps you:
- Understand exam formats and question types
- Identify and improve weak areas without last-minute pressure
- Balance test prep with your academic workload smoothly
- Build confidence and reduce stress
- Plan your application timeline and avoid missing university deadlines

Beginning early increases your chances of achieving the high scores needed for admission and scholarships.
