If you have confidence that you could prepare well and qualify for SAT and JEE as well with good scores, only then choose dropping a year as if you don't get desired results after an year you'll be frustrated. So think wisely before you make a decision. Or else, there are many good private colleges as well where you can take admission.

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.

Hi Arvind,
SAT basically comprises of high school topics (Reading, writing, maths and optional essays). Get your concepts clear, practice a lot. I can suggest you to take an external coaching , they will teach you short-cuts and time management. You will find a number of online practice tests on collegeboard.org too. Which class are you in right now?

Hi,
The best way is to attempt few mock tests and identify your strengths and weaknesses and then start preparing. College board provides the details of 20 subjects which you can take so choose and go through the material carefully. All you need is lot of practice to train your brain in attempting it.

Hi Arindam,
If you are in class 11th, prepare either for SAT or ACT and IELTS or TOEFL. You need not take GRE (which is taken for Masters in USA). You must register yourself on the official websites of the respective test administrators, create an account and schedule a test date. You will find information on syllabus, test format and online test prep materials too.

Hi Juhi,
You can prepare for SAT and JEE together. Math asked in SAT is far easier than that in JEE.
But since there is no English related section in JEE, you will have to put in great efforts to prepare for SAT English/Verbal section.
Be aware that most students from India face troubles in SAT Verbal. Indian students perform pretty well in SAT math when compared to students from other countries (except China).
