SAT

The application process should start a year before the planned intake. You must finish the application submission by 2017 latest by December, 2017 depending on university websites. The admission windows will open after July/August 2017. You must keep checking university websites for updates.
You can take SAT and TOEFL either during class 11th or before your boards. It shouldn't hamper your board exams, so schedule wisely. You can also apply to colleges, while in the final semester.

Hi Shreshth, the application process needs to start early depending on where you want to apply. Can you share your country preference?

Hi Saundarya,

Hi,
No, with this score you can't get a English proficiency waiver, as per the guidelines of the universities you should have at least 700 in CR part, so that you can show the university that you don't require TOEFL/IELTS. UIC is a good university, even I had applied to it and didn't receive an English proficiency waiver, so what I will recommend is give TOEFL to be on the safer side and if you want a smooth admission process.
All the best!

Hey Deep,
US admission process is holistic, nothing particular can assure you admission in US universities, they will look at your whole profile not just 12th marks but all the high school marks viz. 9th,10th,11th and 12th marks with your SAT and TOEFL marks and your ECs. So, you see this is a bit complicated process. Scoring high grades in SAT or 12th will not ensure you admission in the universities. You have to maintain your whole profile and show the university that you deserve the admission.
I hope you got me.

After completing your class 11th, you can register for TOEFL.

First, you have to register and take admission tests like SAT, ACT TOEFL or IELTS and you have to do really well in these tests, if you are particularly aiming for IVY Leagues.
You have to check the university's website, if they require SAT subject test. You can collect your class 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades and SOPs and LORs. The university will also look at your achievements and extra-curricular and finally you can apply to universities of your choice.

Hi Deep,
It is not possible to take SAT exam from home. You can prepare at home but you have to take the exam at the pro metric center.

Hi Kalyani,
It is not required, if you have completed your class 12th from CBSE board. If you are from state board or ICSE board, then you must take SAT.
