Midyear report question

Hey guys,

So I’m about to start submitting transfer applications, and I learned that I have to submit a midyear report, where your current professors write down what your current grade is in the class. My question is could I ask my professors to sign the midyear report prior to midterm exams or does it have to be after midterms, which would probably be late for some of my schools?

Thanks in advance!
