How much do universities spend per student annually on average in the US?

Universities admission exams?

• Hi, first of all I apologize for my incorrect English. This message was originally Italian, then I had it translated using google translator. I am a high school student here in Italy, and my dream is to attend in the near future, a university in the United States. Since I will attend the university that will decide my future, and therefore my life, I decided to aim as high as possible, to have no remorse in a few years. So I will support a series of examinations requested by the universities with the highest score possible. Tests that I'm going to give are: SAT Reasoning Test, SAT Subject Tests 3 (Italian, mathematics and physics level 2), TOEFL and the greatest number of AP. Considering that I am currently attending the second top, and that there is no chance of being rejected, I am left with three more years to finish high school, and this time apparently large but relatively very narrow I must prepare myself to perform all tests listed above, not to mention that we're talking about three years gross, considering the timing of the period in which to give the exams go from 1.5 to 2.5 years net. The TOEFL is one of the highest certifications in English in the world, and is therefore very difficult to obtain. Taking into account the score required by the most prestigious colleges in the United States that is 600 out of 677 in general, my knowledge of English is not particularly advanced, and the remaining time to the end of high school, my only opportunity to obtain those points is to spend long periods abroad, and I'm not talking about a study holiday, but of an entire school year. In fact I decided to attend the fourth than in the U.S.. For SAT I intend to start an intense self-preparation at the end of this school year (with the appropriate volumes arrived from the USA), so I have a fairly substantial period in which to practice, especially given the fact that they are perfectly capable of studying home nine hours a day that I could spend only an hour and a half to school, just not to be postponed, the school reports are not viewed by U.S. universities, not to mention that the SAT Subject Test in Italian of course already get a perfect score (zero errors). One factor that I rely a lot is the interview, which especially in the universities to which point can make a difference, in fact it will surface characteristics usually puts them second in the selection of candidates for university, especially in Italy, which serve to highlight some capabilities "rare" individual, of course, as long as it it has. A point against me is instead a letter of recommendation that those who go to those universities you write often by celebrities and even former students of this university. However, my real problem, so I asked this question, is the conduct of examinations AP (advanced placement). I am informed and EF told me, the opposite of what I thought, that if I go to a school year in the U.S. with them I can not do those exams. So I wanted to know when and where I could get them, thanks.

• Answer:

  You are asking too much in one question. SATs -- forget about all the subject tests. Take the general SATs. Study. Learn strategies. Learn English. Watch news shows -- BBC online, etc.
