SAT stands for Standard Aptitude Test and it is a test that judges ur logic, reasoning, critical reading and grammar skills. There are certain universities that exempt u from their aptitude tests if u have the SAT or rather a particular SAT score. Some might even require a particular SAT score without which you cannot be granted admission at all. And if that is not the case, then it most definitely elevates ur application if you have a good SAT score, as it shows that you're a competitive candidate for admission.

So, at the end of the day, you first have to find out about your target university/ies. You have to look at what they require you to have. If it's a compulsion, you have to give SAT then. If it just helps you avoid the aptitude test, you have to find out which of the two is easier for you (in most cases students find SAT easier - I did ! :) ) And if there is nothing like this, then you have to simply decide if you want to give SAT so that it just gives you an edge in the admission process and you stand out.

HOpe that helped :)

Anything else, or if you want to stay inb touch...follow me on my blog: discoverity.blogspot.com :)

SAT is just a test and not a qualification. You need to do A-level (or equivalent qualification) to get admission into a University, be it anywhere!

Sorry, but Universities don't just consider SAT scores. Even if you've scored 100% in SAT tests but got U's in A-levels, no Good University (the emphasis is on the word GOOD) will give you admission.

As for opinions, I'd suggest you to do A-level again and work hard this time for good grades.
I sincerely hope you get into a Good University.
Good Luck!

okay i dont know about lumhs, or dow, but aga khan as far as i rmember does ask for SAT II in certain subjects.....and SAT I will help u or not?....im not realy sure..

You have to understand that you cannot rely on or even expect any genuine comments from people like us here.....you have to open up their websites and check out their requirements.....and get in touch with these unis to find out if SAT I really helps and to what extent..

I hope u understand this now :)
All the best
