When do you start preparing?

For exams you’re taking the corresponding classes for, I’d recommend reading over the respective section of the prep book while you’re going through the same unit. That way, you’ll be able to make sure you’re grasping all the essential concepts while becoming more familiar with the tests. Start preparing hardcore (including practice tests and a steady study schedule) in March.

For exams you’re self studying, start in January or so. Just study a little bit at a time. Don’t worry about memorizing that early. Instead, grasp an idea of what the subject is like (unless you have had previous coursework in the area). It’s all about understanding the subject, not memorizing it.
