    SATs and Pre-SATs (just practice SATs) are optional and not part of the curriculum (literally run by a private, albeit non-profit, company). While it’s not required you take it, good luck getting into college without an SAT score, and most high-schools have dates you can pay/register and come in to take the test.

      Wild. We just have pre-requisite courses that typically qualify you for University programs. You overall grades matter, but there’s nothing like an SAT

        In the UK you have to do two additional years of education in order to be able to go to university. We call those two additional years college, just to be confusing.
