Hi Lipi,
The Official Guide to SAT by college board is a mandatory keep. You need not follow any other book if you practice hard from this book. Other popular guides you can check are by Kaplan, Manhattan, The Princeton Review, Black Book, etc.

Hi Rajesh,
Ideally, the application process including taking the SAT etc should start a year ahead of the intakes, US universities mainly have two intakes. The Fall intake which is in Aug/Sept every year is more common. If you desire to study next year you have to submit your applications by this year end as per the university deadlines.

Hi Vivek,
Your scores are not the only factor which will be evaluated by Ivy Leagues. They require all-rounder and not book worms. They look for students who will contribute to the university and the school. More than 95% is not mandatory at all, but if you do its good for you. An highly academic student that is a student with more than 95% may also be rejected if the university finds the student profile not so fit for the university. Go through these links, understand the kind of profiles they take in:

You will need the university admission offer letter to apply for the study visa. If the university you are applying to requires the SAT you must give the SAT. Check the admission requirements before applying.
