Hi Smridhi,
As can be seen on one of your previous query I believe you now know that you must first enrol into a bachelor's degree of four years. You need to take SAT and SAT subject tests and TOEFL for admissions into a BS program related to medical science . On completion of your BS you must take the Medical College Admission Test i.e. MCAT. You can start your medical studies only after clearing MCAT and a successful academic performance in your UG. Medical school will last for 5 to 7 years which will include residency. Later you must clear USMLE which is the United States Medical Licensing Examinations to start practicing as a doctor. Please visit collegeboard.org for SAT dates, the next dates are available sometime in June and then in October.You can create your college board account right away. Also, check common-app portal, you must apply to universities through this portal. Create a commonapp portal too and get acclimatised with it.
