Hey everyone! I'm a bit confused and was wondering if you have to take the SAT to graduate high school, or is it just for college applications?
Hey there! The SAT is not required for high school graduation. The primary purpose of the SAT is to serve as a standardized test for college admissions, which helps colleges assess your readiness for college-level work.
High school graduation requirements can vary by state, but generally involve earning a certain number of course credits, completing specific courses, and occasionally additional requirements like fulfilling a certain number of community service hours. The SAT is separate from these requirements and is mainly used for college applications.
To summarize, there is no need to take the SAT to graduate high school. I hope this information clears up your confusion!
