To prepare for gaining entry to a school (college or university), you need to know the entry requirements. Very often they will require more than just your high school diploma for entry into a four year degree program or moe than just your bachelor's degree for entry into postgraduate studies. Sometimes you will need to have completed tests such as the SAT, PSAT, LSAT, MCAT and GMAT. So first you need to look at the typical university entrance requirements
College/University Preparatory Programs
College/University Preparatory Programs are offered by private colleges and some universities. Some of these guarantee entry into university, others simply say that you will be better prepared for entry. They will usually include study skills, English and possibly mathematics.
Be careful that you take an accredited program from an accredited institution.
SAT, GMAT, PSAT and LSAT
Whichever test you need to take, it's a good idea to research the test as much as possible so you can be best prepared. You can usually find sites that specialize in test preparation that have specimen papers for you to practice on. One very useful web site with many free test resources is Study Guide Zone.
Many other students will be preparing for the very same test, or will have recently completed the test, and they can help you identify good resources. So check the message boards or forums that discuss the test you are taking. They will often be a good source of preparation strategies for the test.
