This is a very common question.

The time it takes you to be ready for the test depends on how far you are away from your target score.

For example, you may already possess the skills necessary to achieve your target score. Or it could be the case that you are presently 150 points away from your target score. In the first case, you can take the test tomorrow. In the second case, you will likely need several months to prepare.

To get an idea of how long it will take YOU to prepare, you need to take an official practice test. This will help determine the size of the knowledge gap you need to fill.

Hello everyone,

I am new to this subreddit so I apologize if the question had already been answered before. I know that it's hard to say considering that everyone's circumstances are different but I would like to know how much time on average does one need to prepare for the test when they work full time?

Many thanks,

Are you working full time or are you a Junior in university of Miami?
