首先，申请比较好的美国高中一般是需要托福和SSAT的。
第二，美国的申请是提前一年申请，如果13年入学，那么12年肯定就要开始准备了。
第三，申请一般需要托福和SSAT成绩，平时成绩；文书，教师推荐信；财产证明等。

从第一个问题看你对高中申请还基本不怎么了解，现在时间蛮紧的了，还是建议找专业人士。

如果对学校有要求的话，学校对你也有要求，最好还是有SSAT and TOEFL，但是来不及考也没有办法，建议你参加10／25 北京或10／27的TABS展会，一周前有说明会的，赶快报名！

1、赞成许老师的回答
2、现在必须尽快准备了，明年去读的话，现在才想申请已经晚了些了，所以得抓紧时间考托福和SSAT。申请什么学校得根据在校成绩、托福和SSAT成绩来决定的。没有这些成绩也可以申请，申请排名之外的学校，也是很好的学校，放心，美国的教育资源还是很均衡的，私立学校要靠成绩和升学情况来生存，所以不会有差的学校。这些学校也是现在就要准备了，如学校的选择、申请资料准备。。。
3、自己申请，先找学校选学校－－学校网站上有详细的申请要求，填表在线申请，按要求准备资料－－寄出，等待通知。如果家长现在才准备，如果英文一般，那自己申请晚了点，会很紧张的。你得在网上多搜索别人的经验，总结学习。要快！

I assume that your daughter is now 9th grade student and repeat 9th grade in USA. In order to apply top private schools, your daughter should have excellent TOEFL score (usually around 100 out of 120) and SSAT about 90%. And you daughter needs these score before January 2013. Perhaps this might be a big challenge for your daughter. Since deadline is approaching, you should prepare for application as soon as possible

For checking the schools, you can go to the school website directly since school website is pretty clear about admission criteria. Or you can call to the school and ask questions directly. Each school has different admission criteria. Or you can work with someone or respected professionals to work on behalf of your daughter. Sometime that is easier and clear. Even you can ask these people to call right on that spot for you.

Also, certainly you can apply by yourself. Nevertheless, it would take a lot time and energy. From my experience, typically more than 80% applicants use professional assistance, about 20 % of applicants would apply directly. If you have a good, effective ethical professional, the success rate would be higher.

我认为贵千金目前是九年级生并计划在美国重读一次九年级。为了申请私立学校妳女儿需要有很高的托福成绩(通常是100分到120分) 以及SSAT要达到90%。
并且在明年1月前就得准备好这两个成绩单。我想对您的千金来说这是很大的挑战因为时间很紧迫了，要加紧准备了
对于那些学校的信息，我想你可以直接上网站查询，这些学校的入学申请信息都非常清楚或者你可以打电话去学校直接咨询。 每个学校都有不同的入学要求，或者你可以找朋友或信用好的专家协助。有时候这样会容易些。
甚至你可以要求我们协助，直接与学校联系。

当然你也可以亲力亲为，然而它将会耗时耗力，我的经验告诉我有将近80%的申请信是透过专业人士，20%申请者是自己申请的。如果你有一位高效道德操守的专业教育咨询，这将会大大地提高您的录取率。
