Nah. It'll look stupid if they found out you took SAT in college. Hs was the time to do it if you wanted to. Just put your ACT score on your resume if it's good. Wall Street tends to have a bias to the SAT over ACT but it's not that big of a deal. I've found it helps in some way for me since I'm non target and showing that I got a 1500+ on the SAT makes them think I'm not significantly stupider than target kids. If you're a target though, it def doesn't matter. Even if you're a non-target, it will make a negligible impact. You're not going to get an interview because of your SAT score
