“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Its MBB, and yes they care. You will have to provide it. Its less important if you took the GRE/GMAT because you are considering a masters program and have a few years of work experience. But if you're a college junior/senior right now, the ACT is going to hurt you.
I took the GRE because of grad school and am several years out. A bunch of F500s littered on my resume from work, various internships and projects.
Would it be worth taking the SAT? I never took it before. It's only 50ish dollars. I think that given the ~200 hours I put into the GRE, the SAT should be cakewalk, at least for getting to a respectable score on the math.
Is it too iffy to do this? I feel like it'd be taking candy from a baby... err children... almost literally.
No, I don't understand why you'd even consider this. The only reason anyone should ever take the SAT is wanting to get into an undergraduate college.
McKinsey Bain and BCG already have my ACT on file from past applications. (decent math, 33, equivalent to a 760 same with English, 31, 700) but the science and reading comp sections were HORRIBLE and drug down my overall score.
The reason I mentioned that is that I don't think I'd need to study at all other than super light review(i.e. 20 practice questions math, 20 english and to hell with the writing).
You have to put the date for the SAT/ACT, so I wouldn't bother with a retake. It'll be obvious what you did.
If you're coming out of a master's program and the score is from a few years ago, I wouldn't worry about it.
Curious, where do you put this date for the SAT/ACT? I've never seen such a thing.
I've seen it for a few consulting firms, just right next to where you put the test score.
