SAT, ACT, AP, IB. So many standardized tests. With so many schools now NOT requiring them, should I still take the test? Simply put, probably yes.

But it's not simply something to add to your resume. Rather, if you understand what these tests are doing and how it is being used, you might begin to appreciate the good that comes to you in studying for these exams, especially if you are learning material that may not necessarily have been covered in your studies, but are definitely expected of you in college.
