To the United States and I am wondering if I will be taking a test before I enter school. I am British and my family and I moved a couple of weeks ago, and I think that i'm going to an admission class on Monday. Do I have to take a test? Or am I sent to a class of people according to my age? Thank You.

Well no, you wont be required to take an admissions test or any test to attend the school. They will look at your transcript and see what your grades were like, and if your average is high/above average, you can ask to be placed in advanced classes or even skip a grade if you want more of a challenge. But they will put you in classes according to your age, even if the classes you took in saudi arabia were 11 grade classes. The classes in saudi arabia may not fit the criteria for the education system you're going into, so they might want you to be in 9th or 10th grade classes (that's usually what grade a 15 yr old is in here). But if you don't want to be put in a 9th or 10th grade class then definitely ask to be put in 11th. Of course your credits have to meet the credit requirement for 11th graders. If not, you WILL have to make up classes to meet their "standards." That's what happened to a girl in 12th grade that moved to my school from germany. She was taking harder classes, but because the school said her classes/credits didn't go with their curriculum, she had to take some classes from 10th and 11th grade to fit the curriculum and credit system.
