people , SAT or TOEFL which one should I take ?

coobboy:


The reality is you should still take the SAT because when you get to school you will still be required to take a state based exam, for them to know you have the adequate skills or knowledge to be in college. You might have to take developmental classes and pay extra cash for no reason if you do not pass the exam. So the SAT would ease you from writing those exams, putting you in the place of college level or higher. For example math; when you have an SAT score that is high enough, you skip two or three math classes, and puts you in Calculus 1 straight up (But when you fail to take the SAT and you do not pass the state based exam for UG, you will have to start from the lowest form of math class).
It is also good for the embassy, if you want to be portrayed as a potential student, take at least one standardized test. It would increase your chances of getting a visa

LagosNIV:
The SAT would be more useful as many scholarships are based on SAT scores. No real need to take the TOEFL though if it has been waived for this particular program.

It may help with other schools and it shows the visa officer that she is serious.
So not compulsory but still a good idea if she can get a good score and money is not too tight.

I'm saying it again, stop saying this. I've seen many similar cases like yours here.

Ta! I no be small boy for here. If you keep hiding facts, how would you be on the right path as you mentioned? Let me break your heart a little, if they discovered he's your father and had already overstayed and you're going to the same state as him, bearing his last name, having the same Nigerian address, shared many things in common with him (such as he had mentioned you when he was applying for his visa), you'll jeopardize your chance of getting the visa even if your mother is your sponsor.

Just think clearly.
If you fail TOEFL at home then you have only lost the cost of the exam, and can try again.
If you fail the schools test they will want you to do and pay for remedial school.
So you will be paying for extra school, along with extra accommodation feeding Etc.

Do you have all that extra money available, only you can answer that.
