When should I start studying for SIE/63/79 Series Exams?

So I accepted my SA 2022 position at a MM bank and I’m well aware that analysts need to pass these exams in order to work in the industry. Ik I won’t need to pass as an intern but I’m just looking ahead.

I was curious more on the SIE exam and if anyone thinks it would be a good idea to try and pass that before I start my FT position after graduation? Im currently a rising Junior so I was thinking starting sometime senior year I study, budget time into my schedule and study/pass the SIE.

Any advice is much appreciated on what you think and best tips on how to prep. Thanks Monkeys!
