Never took the SAT

by GMAT Hopeful » Fri Sep 05, 2008 5:24 pm
I never took the SAT in High School, do you think this will hinder me in terms of GMAT training?

I've looked over my Kaplan book that I bought and nothing seems too daunting to learn, however, is it a significantly harder fprocess for someone who never had to study and take the SAT?

I don't think it will hurt you. In fact, you'll have less emotional baggage to start with. Oh, the pain! ;-) (Can you tell? I HATED the SAT.)

Many ppl don't take the SAT. I live in Canada and have never done a test similar to the GMAT. SAT is just a US thing as far as I know. So, I would definitely say that you can do very well on the GMAT without SAT experience.

Agreed. Don't think it's a big deal that you didn't take the SAT.
