Hi,
If you are particularly aiming for IVY League, then you have to be damn good in your academics and ECs. To get admission in US universities, you have to take either SAT or ACT. Both these tests are for undergraduate courses.
As an Indian student, I would suggest you to register for SAT exam as it is favorable for Indian students and due to large number of test takers. You need to understand the structure of the exam. It just measures your basic mathematics and strong language basics.
For Indians the mathematics section seems to be pretty easy, but as English is not our first language, the language section creates a bit complication.
