Alright thanks for answering my question. It works differently here in the UK, where we don't do an undergrad course before medicine, it's just one long 5 year course that you do as soon as you leave secondary school (high school), if you get an offer to stusy it of course. There are pathways to get in as a graduate but it is a lot less common and less mainstream.
God I wish it's was only a 5 year course after high-school
In the US you have to do 4 years undergrad (usually takes an extra semester/summer so it's more like 4.5) then 4 years of medical school (2 years in the classroom then 2 years doing clinicals) and then finally you can do your residency (anywhere from 2-12 years depending on what type of doctor you want to be) then FINALLY you become a practicing physician. Usually end up with 250k+ of debt from schooling and during residency you get paid 80k max a year while working ~60ish hour workweek (can go up to 80+ hours)
It's actually hell to become a doctor unless your daddy is rich
That's so rough wtf. In the UK, it's just 5 years of med school then 2 foundation years before specialising which takes up to 7 years (i think?) before you become a consultant so minimum is 7 years for a GP I think, and longest is 14 years from starting med school. But yeah that's how it is in the UK.
toefl at least 90 to a 100 preferably , i do want at least a 1300 on the sat to open lots of opportunities , i will be apply for unis in the usa uk sweden and germany im also looking for decent prices like purdue for example uni of florida etc and sse in stockholm, some unis in england , to study finance ( forgot to add that i have a national exam this year too that i need to study for but grades dont matter that much to unis they dont really recognize our grades)
From my experience, most people get tripped up on the R&W portion over the math portion on the SAT.
If you find the Math section ridiculously easy it's better to focus on R&W. A lot of things written on social media aren't exactly grammatically correct and that may confuse you on the real exam. It's better to at least get a good grasp of proper grammatical structure and punctuation, and reading a lot of books or even just Wikipedia articles will help you with that Reading section.
Being able to skim through the Reading section is huge, if you can train yourself to do that.
And, obviously, doing a few practice exams wouldn't hurt :)

I can attest that skimming is insanely powerful for these tests. How I practiced was reading through a passage once, then writing down all the points I could remember. I repeated this until I could get all the key points down
I was always terrible in English but I managed to pull out a 1510 on the SAT and a 35 on the ACT
i spent like half my time growing up in the library. i read books all the time, so i'm pretty good at reading fast and understanding what i read - massive advantage in the SAT and in general tbh. If one gets the hang of skimming through and getting the idea, then all you need to do to solve the analysis questions is quickly go back to the passage to find that one justifying sentence. Saves you so much time tbh, I remember finishing my R&W with like 30 min left to review my answers
