<p>I am an international and going to study at a community college for 2 years before transfering to university. I have a date for the SAT next week, but I don't know should I take it or not, because you don't need to take it for community college. Anyway, if I decide to go to the test without any preparation and happen to get bad results, is this going to have a negative effects to the CC admission? Otherwise I've got excellent high school grades.
What about when I later transfer to say UCLA, will they check these bad SAT results..? I hope someone can help out!</p>
<p>It is my understanding that a community college will never see your SAT score unless you intentionally report the score to them. </p>
<p>Transfer students entering a UC/CSU at the junior class level don't report high school grades or SAT/ACT scores. Only transfer students who try to enter UC/CSU at the freshman or sophomore class level are required to provide high school grades or SAT/ACT scores.</p>
<p>Yuo do not need SAT scores to apply to com. college, but when you transfer to a university, you need to have scores.</p>
<p>So I'm going to take the SAT now (because I already paid for it and I'm just going to see how it's like and how I'll do). And when I transfer in 2 years I just take the SAT again (if it's needed), and my prior results won't affect my admission?</p>
<p>It's good to take the SAT anyway, because at many community colleges you can use the scores to be exempt from placement tests.</p>
