Not everyone interested in studying abroad is ready to apply — and that’s okay.

Readiness is about clarity, not perfection.

Signs You’re Ready to Start Planning

You don’t need everything figured out, but you should have:

• A general study goal

• An idea of your academic background

• Willingness to plan realistically

If you’re still confused, that’s often a sign you need guidance — not delay.

Signs You’re Not Ready Yet

You may need more clarity if:

• You’re relying entirely on rumours

• You have no timeline in mind

• You’re waiting for “everything to be perfect”

Perfect timing rarely exists.

Why Readiness Is Not Self-Assessed

Many applicants believe they are ready — or not ready — based on emotions.

In reality, readiness is best evaluated professionally, based on facts.

Final Thought

Readiness is not about confidence — it’s about direction.
