Dear Shashank,
Easy or tough will depend on your own competency. Suggestion from me would be that you should check the formats and test pattern. Many people will be having their own opinion about it so it's up to you to judge.

Hi Shubhanshu,
You have to start preparing the application one year before the class dates or intakes. You can take SAT and TOEFL after completing class 12th and apply during the same year. It is the following year that you will be enrolled.
