SAT requirements can vary from one institution to another in the United States. While many colleges and universities historically required SAT scores for admissions, an increasing number of schools have adopted test-optional policies. These policies allow students to choose whether or not to submit SAT scores as part of their application. Your choice largely depends on the specific schools you are interested in. It's advisable to research the admission requirements of each institution to which you plan to apply. If a school is test-optional, you have the flexibility to decide whether the SAT is a necessary part of your application.
