MANY colleges in the U.S. have remained SAT/ACT optional. This LINK will give you a list of institutions who are not requiring these college entrance exams for this upcoming application year and beyond.
The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil and paper test created and administered by the CollegeBoard. The purpose of the SAT is to measure a high school student's readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. It tests your knowledge of critical reading, writing and math.

Why should students take the
ACT or SAT?
Four-year colleges and
universities use these tests to determine applicants’ academic achievement and
potential. As part of their admissions requirements, some colleges require
applicants to have earned certain minimum test scores. Other colleges use test
scores as indicators of academic ability when students’ grades are not high
enough to meet admissions standards. ACT and SAT test scores also serve as
criteria for numerous financial awards.
How do I know if I should take the ACT or the
SAT?
Some colleges prefer
one or the other exam; however, most colleges accept either. Students should
check with each school individually to see if they have a preference. Students
who haven’t yet decided on a specific college may want to take both exams. To see
which test you did best on, see the conversion chart. If the college accepts
both exams, students should choose the one that will most favorably reflect
their abilities. The chart below illustrates the major differences.

AP ® (Advanced Placement) Tests are college–level exams on specific subjects administered in May upon the completion of an AP course taken at a student's high school. At many colleges and universities, a high enough score will earn the student college credit. In some instances can mean an overall lower college tuition bill.
AP tests are only offered in May, so if you're going to take them, you need to plan ahead.
