All colleges in the U.S. that require admissions exams as part of the admissions process will take either the ACT or the SAT. The two tests are very different, so it would be worth your time to consider the ACT as well. Almost all colleges list their admissions requirements on their websites, so one of your first steps should be to check the admissions requirements and then decide which test to take. Some students take both tests. With the ACT, you can opt not to report scores to colleges until you see the scores. If you retest and get a higher score, you can choose to only report the second set of scores to prospective colleges. Also, most colleges don't require a writing score. The ACT's writing test is optional. That's another reason to check the college's requirements first. The SAT does not have a Science test--the ACT does. The ACT tests higher math (there are a few trigonometry questions) but the Math Test only counts for 25% of the composite score rather than a third for the SAT's math section.

No. There are colleges that do not require you to take the SAT to get in. Also a good alternative is the ACT, which is another standardized test which some people find easier to take than the SAT. But if you are looking to go to college, then the SAT is a good idea. If you are not going to college, then there is little to no reason to take it.


Why do i need to take sat?

The SAT is required by most universities in America. The sad facts about the SAT is that they are proven to assess one's intelligence or how they will perform at college (studies do prove this statement). However, to get into college, many universities do require that an applicant takes either the SAT or the ACT. Your answer, in short, you need to take the SAT (or ACT) if you would like to go to college.* *Please note, there are some institutions in which do not require an applicant to take a standardized test, but these institutitons are few.
