First of all, congratulations! What do you want to study at university?

If you don't live very far from your university, you might consider taking a trip down there to look around the campus. That way, you can know where everything is before your first day.

In the US, we attend high school until we're about 18. Most universities don't have individual entrance exams, but you still have to apply and be accepted. In the United States, we have two different exams called the ACT and the SAT. They're similar to your exams in Japan, I believe, except many different universities accept each exam. Because of this, you can take one test and send that score to many different schools, instead of taking an exam for each school you wish to attend.

The university will also look at your high school grades, as well as your involvement in extra-curricular activities (like band, academic team, sports, and so on) as well as any volunteer work you may have done in your town. Some schools also require an essay.
