<p>My teacher told me to take it so I don't miss the money awards when I apply for colleges.</p>
<p>No. It’s not required. Only liberal arts schools may want you to take it, but you can take it some other time. You don’t need to take the SAT to get into a 4 year university if you’re transferring from a community college. Your high school grades will not matter, only your community college grades. You basically get a clean slate. But don’t screw up.</p>
<p>Is it worth taking the SAT if I’m going for scholarships?</p>
<p>At our community college, SAT scores can get you out of taking the placement exams.</p>
