Hey guys! I'm kinda confused and could use some help. Do you have to take the SAT to graduate high school, or is it only required for college applications?
Hey there! The SAT is not required for high school graduation; it's primarily used for college applications. High schools have their own set of requirements for graduation, such as completing specific courses, earning a certain number of credits, and possibly passing state-mandated exams. The SAT is simply an optional standardized test that many students choose to take as a part of their college application process, as many colleges prefer or require it in order to assess your academic abilities. If you're planning to attend college, I would recommend taking the SAT or ACT, as the majority of colleges will ask for these scores during the application process. Good luck!
