a lot of school also have a minimum SAT score that you must get in order to be admitted. I know here at Texas A&M it's like 1300 for automatic admit. And then depending on your class ranking it could be lower or higher... like if you are top 10% I think it's 1000 or something stupid like that... I dunno. I didn't really care about my SATs. All my friends took them at least three times and I took it once in the summer and I didn't really care. I had automatic admit to my school because I was top 5% of my high school. I was more interested in working and making money at the time, haha.

I personally hate standardized tests.  Isn't 7th grade a bit early to even think about the SAT?  I did not even worry about those until my junior year of high school.  Besides colleges do not really care about standardized test scores, they mostly look at your grades and GPA during school those tests are just worthless.

I don't think so.  All of the colleges I have looked out weighted scores on tests like the SAT almost as highly as they weighted GPA.

That is true.  There are many colleges out there that do look at those test scores.  I have also seen many that mainly look at your GPA.  What I have come to notice is that a lot of big Universities look at your tests scores.  And there are also many small state colleges that do not care.  I think it is really up to the school that you are looking at.  Some schools really take those tests seriously others, do not care just as long as you at least take it.  It also depends on what your major you want to go into.  It really varies form school to school.  And what you want to study.

I've been taking them since kindergarten.

SSATs?
