but i want to do my M.S in physics(to be specific Astrophysics)
so i need help regarding my future plans, i.e. how much to score in GRE and how much in the subject test, which universities to opt, what about scholarships.
i will appreciate any help..
Thnxx in advance
It depends which program you want to go to. Of course, as high as you can in all scores wil be the best, but some schools have different requirements.
You can browse the "Astrophysics" category in gradschoolshopper and see what schools offer. The information comes directly from the departments, and is accurate for 2012:

These are the schools with either "Astronomy" or "Astrophysics" specialties, that give Masters degrees. You can go to the search page and look for schools also by other specialties, states etc.
The second thing I think you should pay attention to is the "requirements" for the admissions. Some schools will expect you to have certain physics courses in your undegrad. If that's the case, you can start thinking of taking these courses as an "extra" to your current degree to improve your chances of acceptance.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
