I'm just starting my sophomore year in high school in America and I'm considering going to a boarding school in the UK, but I've been looking stuff up online and found out there are certain tests and preparations for exams that usually start earlier than your junior year and I'm wondering if I have to do anything, like take special tests, to transfer.

No you don't. Americans are smarter.

I wouldn't. I mean from a purely academic perspective I came from a New Zealand private school on a british curriculum and I went into 7th grade here. It was really different, Maths is weird, i had heaps to catch up on and in other stuff i was years ahead. It's not that fun being the foreign kid and you'll be living it everyday in boarding school. I mean if you hate your school why don't you transfer to a US boarding school. There are tests you have to take (I cant remember what they are) and you have you have a guardian in the country/area.. Sorry, I know this doesnt really answer your question,I just thought I'd warn you. PS. This is assuming your american and been schooled in US your whole life.
