HI
I would like to address this under two separate issues/process
Admission - There are few schools in the US which are not ranked, but may accept students without SAT.
Visa - There are hundreds of students applying for the student visa for higher education in the US. Most of them have taken the SAT, and then there are few students applying for a student visa without the SAT score. There is going to be a comparison. Visa officer may think that a student without the SAT score is not a serious student.
Hence, it is advised to take the SAT for not only getting into a ranked university but also for a better visa result.

Except a few, almost all the universities in the USA grant admission through the SATs.
Get more information from: www.collegeboard.org
Also, there are a few engineering institutions in India too that consider the scores of the SAT.
Hope this helps.
Best of luck.

Hi,
The best way is to attempt few mock tests and identify your strengths and weaknesses and then start preparing. College board provides the details of 20 subjects which you can take so choose and go through the material carefully. All you need is lot of practice to train your brain in attempting it.

Hi Amisha, there is no rule stating SAT can be given only thrice. Research shows after three to five attempts your score and performance will most likely be the same. Hence test takers are encouraged to wrap it up in three attempts. If you take the test more than thrice it is not going to affect your application until and unless your scores are stagnant and you are not showing any improvement after repeated attempts. Also, admission decisions are taken by the university and depends on the overall application package of the applicant. Irrespective of the number of attempts you make, the 'best of all' score will be considered by the univ

Yes, SAT must be taken.
SAT subject tests are optional and depends on the university requirements. You must check the same on the admission requirements page of the university. You have not mentioned much details to guide you further. Good luck!
