How should I schedule my SAT, TOEFL and 12th board exams in 2018 so that I can score full in all 3?
Kindly mention the dates as per Ivy League application dates as I want to apply to these colleges as soon as all the 3 exam results are out.

Dear Kriti,
Nobody can and will tell you dates for exams you need to appear. Specifying a date won't guarantee full marks as well. Nobody on the other side of this app can know about your preparation strategy, your calibre etc. The best we could do is to suggest you to keep atleast 9 months ahead of the application dates Around 3-5 months would be required for preparation of each test. During March to August should ideally be your test date.
