Questions about studying abroad and exams...?
Hello! I'm from the US and I'm also a sophomore in high school. I'm 14. I wanted to study abroad in Norway, but I still have to learn Norwegian (of course) and I can't apply for this year. I was wondering, what would happen if I went during my Junior year or Senior year? Junior year is where most of the important exams, the SATs and ACTs, take place. Senior year is when college applications are due. If I /did/ study abroad in Junior or Senior year, what test results would I send to college or how could I complete college apps?
Thanks in advance

American HS does not count the same as a Norwegian HS. In order to gain general qualifications for getting into higher education in Norway you need the following:
- HS diploma
- AND EITHER one year (30 credits) of academic university education with a C or better
- OR 3 AP-exams with grade 3 or better
- OR 3 CLEP-exams with minumum 50 points
You must also fulfill the Norwegian language requirements (see link below).
It's also possible to take the necessary courses extra courses in a Norwegian HS. You need Norwegian, social studies, history and possibly maths and science (depending on what courses and credits you have in those from the American HS). See link below for more info.
In general HS is free in Norway, but you must buy the books. There are some private institutions that offer HS courses, but those are mainly for students that have to improve their grades in order to qualify for the university education that they want to attend. Those charge quite a bit for each course. There is information on gaining admission to Norwegian HS in the links below.
If you take the last years in a Norwegian HS you would be able to skip the extra year of University. Look through the links below and ask again if you need more info.
