5 Reasons to Take SAT Even If It’s Optional1) Optional isn't really optional for those who want full scholarshipSome schools that are test optional strongly recommend you submit your SAT results. So, you have to do your best to get high score, and submit your SAT to improve your chances of getting in.
2)Your high school diploma isn't international qualifiedI believe you have heard about IB or A-Level. If you haven't studied on one of the qualifications, then you should probably take the SAT. Admission officers know about education systems of countries, which they are reviewing students from. Make sure you are convincing Admission Counsellor that you are Academically ready to study at their college.
3)Your Scores Are Within the College’s Middle Range for Previously Admitted Students
Most colleges list the scores earned by the middle 50% of each incoming class of first-year students on their websites; look for them on the university’s admissions or quick facts pages. If you earn a score within or above that stated range, go ahead and submit your SAT results.
4) Your grades(GPA) are lower than average
If your GPA is lower than what’s required by the colleges you’re applying to, working hard to earn a high SAT score can help you offset your grades and strengthen your application. An above-average to exemplary test result can prove to admissions crews that you are ready for the rigors of academic coursework in college, regardless of what’s on your transcript.
5)Your Intended Major or Honors Program Requires ItEven if a college or university is test optional, honors programs and certain degree programs within that school, especially if they’re competitive, can still require applicants to achieve a specific SAT score to be admitted to that major. If you already know which major you’ll be pursuing, check out that department’s website for their eligibility requirements.
