I know a considerable number of new students here ( PA ) who did not submit scores. When they say test optional, they mean it. If OP has to travel to another country to take the test, imo it’s probably not worth it, and unless the score is extremely high it likely won’t matter much anyway.
OP, there are a lot of threads on here with SSAT advice. I would recommend using the search bar to find and read through some of them. This was the first one to come up when I searched, but there are many more: My SSAT is in 10 days
Good luck with everything!
