When should I start preparing for these exams?

Federal Financial Aid: Specific loans, grants, and work-study
University Aid: Merit &amp; Need-Based Scholarships &amp; Grants
Private Scholarships: Where to find them &amp; how to apply.

I recommend prepping in the summer after sophomore year. Aim to have your exam takes & retakes completed by December. Your sanity will thank you.

Sure you want to accept?
