Registration for the admissions

For taking admission in September at a college, you should appear for the tests in January in the same year and preferably earlier but make sure it should not get delayed after January. Also confirm with each college whether you need to appear for the SAT I or SAT II subject tests. You cannot appear for the both the tests on the same day and their deadlines are usually five to six weeks before the decided test date. The test scores must be reached to the Universities before the application deadline date. An important thing to mention here, that students whose mother tongue is not English must appear for the TOEFL test however, if you are not content with quality of TOEFL, you may contact the concerned universities and explain your circumstances. Your scores in these tests decide your fate about your admission in the US University. Hence, start your preparations at least one to two months prior the test dates and also look for test preparation materials.
