Once you ve started preparing for the exams, you can move on to Step 5 . You want to schedule a test as early as possible to make certain your scores will be ready in plenty of time. Also, if any of your scores is not high enough, you will have time to re-take the test before schools review your applications. Many people, despite good preparation, don't do as well as they expect to the first time they take these tests. If your scores don't meet the minimum requirements for the schools you are considering, you may have to re-take one or more exams.
Some people voluntarily re-take exams, even though their scores are high enough.
Even if they score lower the second time, the test agency reports the highest score the students earned. The higher your scores are, the better your chances will be of getting into the school of your choice. Preparation will improve your test scores. Even if you are fluent in English and know every subject on the test, preparation is important. Also, just knowing the answers isn't enough.
