The SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States.

No not at all, a few good universities in Pakistan even give extra credit / admissions based on your SATS scores, such as LUMS and Nust!

"SAT scores are intended to supplement the secondary school record and help admission officers put local data—such as course work, grades, and class rank—in a national perspective."
So yes, you need to give SAT.
