Preparation for Transfers

<p>Hi, I am Joan, an international student from Ireland!
I’ve gotten a placement for undergraduate engineering in the United States for this Fall as freshman but I am pretty convinced that I want to transfer out.
Are there anything I can do right now, such as do I really need to improve my SAT/ACT and subject tests? Does high school materials matter anymore?</p>

<p>And, if I were to test out most classes at the college via advanced credit examinations, would it be better for me to take more advanced classes at the college, or does most universities accepting transfers prefer one coming in with less credits?
Thanks in advance!</p>
