TOEFL- If you are proficient in English, then you should not spend more than a total of 15 hrs. Just solve few sample tests. Same goes for IELTS. If you are moderately proficient, spend 2 hours every day for 3 weeks.
For SAT and ACT: It depends on your proficiency and your target score. If you are aiming for the top 10 percentile and also are quite proficient already, then spend 3 hours for 2 weeks solving papers and revision. If you have just started preparing, then spend 2 hours for 3 months to gain good understanding of the test pattern and to do well.

Hi Bipin,
With only a HSc qualification you won't get a job and if you do those will be very basic jobs like in food joints, retail shops, petrol pumps, etc. where qualification is not important.

Hello, I will advice you not to apply to Canadian colleges, a rejection is evident. 20 backlogs is a huge number for this quant focused country. Check colleges in Australia or destinations such as Spain, Belgium, Poland, Norway, Italy, etc.

A question that many students aspiring to study abroad ask is - If 100% scholarships are offered? The true answer for this question is no. There are no 100% fully paid scholarships for international students. Some scholarship awarding bodies may foot nearly 85% of the total costs but these are limited in number.

First of all you need to learn their language. Most of the courses in Germany are taught in German language. The fee structure is comparatively very low but the living costs are quite high. If you find a part-time job in Germany then it will be more helpful.
