Other requirements include LORs, SOPs, Essays and transcripts of past education.  Students have to submit their applications in advance to allow enough time for processing of documents.

The best date to take SAT is either in junior year or somewhere around spring intake. Planning exam around these dates in March, May and June has many benefits. If you don't score as per your requirement you can re-appear whenever you like.
