FAFSA , start it now?

<p>I know I cant submit FAFSA until Jan. 1... should I do as much as I can now?
Is that standard procedure?</p>

<p>You can gather the information, but that’s all. The form is not available online until January 1.</p>

<p>I’d gather information starting now for sure. You can print out last year’s FAFSA and begin filling that out to use as a guide in January, so you know you’ve gathered all the info you’ll need: <a href=“http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1213/pdf/PdfFafsa12-13.pdf[/url]”>http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1213/pdf/PdfFafsa12-13.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There is an online “demo” you can check out if you haven’t seen the online form before: </p>
