Can I take my SAT exam in US in 11th grade?
 

I am currently studying in 10th grade in India. I will study 9th and 10th grade in India, 11th in US as an exchange student, then 12th back in India. Will I be able to take SAT exam while I am in 11th grade in US considering I have completed 9th and 10th in India?

You have asked several questions on here about your schooling -- this is a travel forum. The sorts of things you want to know - you should probably be asking your guidance counselor or sponsor at your US school/exchange program.

Yes, you can take the SAT. The school where you will be an exchange student will likely be able to provide you with the SAT registration booklet and free prep materials, which are supplied by the College Board (or you can register online). You will need a photo ID showing the name you registered under in order to be seated. You can take the exam at any location that is administering it in the month you want to take it (it's offered several times each year; register in advance).

You know, I'm not really sure why you would take an SAT exam. Unless you attend an American school in India, I think you'd be evaluated under international student guidelines of any US college you apply for- and I wouldn't think SATs would be one of the qualifications:)

From the international students I knew in college- the three biggies were secondary grades, an English proficiency exam, and proof of sufficient funds as they usually didn't qualify for aid.

Yes. Students can, and do, take SAT at a variety of times. I am hoping that your quest for official exchange student status in US is working out (I have read your other threads). For the year that you are in HS in the US, you will have a guidance counselor who will be able to help with all sorts of college-related things. You are not going to be able to just show up in the US and go to high school.

I know your long-range plan is to attend a US college and stay here. I again urge you to carefully check immigration and work laws so that you do not complete this process and find you are not able to legally stay. While there are many people in the US who do this, since they are "undocumented" they are unable to get credible professional jobs since employers must check immigration status before they hire.

If a student complete medical school in the US (VERY difficult, many earn their MD in other countries but at the top of their class and with fluent english) often apply to the US for a residency and then possibly a fellowship. Generally in order to stay in the US they then must volunteer to practice in an underserved area for a number of years in order to be allowed to stay and continue on to become US citizens.

The husband of a friend of mine followed this path, but he had done his medical school in the UK - where his family moved from Pakistan when he was a teen. The number of medical graduates allowed to do this is limited so being in a specialty that has openings and being at the top of one's class is important. He had to practice 7 years post-fellowship in an underserved area to keep is green card and eventually become a citizen - but he was an interventional cardiologist.

Whoever is advising you in college/getting into medical school should be working with you to obtain all of this information - since I don't know the current status of these programs. But typically fully qualified nurses and MDs are classes of people allowed to become immigrants to the US due to a shortage of both.
