When should an engineering student start preparing for GRE?
Let us assume you are studying Engineering right now and you want to go to a graduate school right after undergraduate and since it is a 4-year course, it is ideal that you start your GRE prep at the start of the third year.
Can I give GRE in 1st year?
The GRE can be written at any time of the year, and the slots are available throughout the year.
When should you start taking the GRE?
Also, make sure you take the GRE at least three weeks before school deadlines so you’ll be sure schools receive your scores in time.
