As numerous others have said, do as many (if not all) exams in the UK before you go as well as a few hours in the air to get the 'feel' of things. Make sure (as P-D mentioned) you are up to an intensive course, I like 'em but they aren't for everyone, only you can make this decision.
The reason behind this as there'll be less to do and you'll have a more relaxed time in the US and can focus on applying the theory to the practice and make evenings a bit more sociable!. Also, allow longer than the normal three weeks to cope with crap weather conditions, I did and was glad of it! (I lost about six days in the end due to crap wx)
The wx in USA is not always as great/predictable as they'll have you believe. At worst, you'll have some time on your hands if you finish on time so can do some extra hours or go do the tourist bit.
