    I hate the fact there's so many different types of tests. Why, why do you need that much? All I know about is SATS, NCT (National Curriculum Test) and GCSEs. I'm lazy in classes though, never revise, muck about, but still do well in tests. Strange, but I'm not complaining.

    That's why the SAT is usually about 50% of the deciding factor for whether you get into college. The other 50% is your GPA. Colleges know that there are a lot of smart students that simply cannot take the SAT well. The GPA is a stronger symbol of your capabilities, because it is a 4-year record as opposed to a 3.5 hour test. I believe the same applies to the MCATs, LSATs, and so on.
