    afaik
    your leaving counts simply as a high school diploma
    you sit an S.A.T. test to get a score to go to college.

    google for the test and youll find lots of samples etc

    You should talk to your career teacher. They might be able to point you in the right direction. It'll cost you a fortune if you don't have a scholarship.

    CTYI use the SAT to assess students - http://dcu.ie/ctyi/ - and they have test centres all around the country, so you could take it at one of them... and, yeah, you'll have no problems with it. :)
