The SAT and ACT are completely optional and only necessary if you're applying to schools in the US - I took the SAT, got a good score, but did not end up selecting an American school. At least it goes on my transcript. |
Its basically a test to determine where you will be placed in your college courses. If you score at a much higher rate you will be placed in classes with a higher curriculum and also in some instances be placed ahead of the 101 introductory courses. Its similar to AP classes in high school.
