Not Disclosing SAT

Can you get away with lying and stating that you never took the SAT and instead giving ACT scores when asked? I attend a school that didn't require the SAT and my ACT score is higher than SAT. I'm pretty sure there is no way any firm can find out about my SAT but was curious about others thoughts on this strategy?

Pretty sure you don't have to give them if you don't want to. College board operates separately from colleges, so even though it's lying, I doubt you'll face any kind of risk.

It will most likely be looked down upon if you don't send a standardized test score, as the vast majority of applicants likely will. I doubt there would be a reason for the firm to care whether you are lying or not.
