GRE or SAT?

Which one should I put on my resume? My SAT score kind of sucks but my GRE Quant was 790, Should I retake the SAT or is the GRE OK to put on? I notice a lot of banks ask for it on their applications, that is my concern.

Retaking the SAT wouldn't be a problem, they already offer it at my university and it's only a few hours.

Whatever shows you in the best light is what I would go with. In your case, your GRE quant is top notch, so I would definitely put that on your resume as your standardized exam. If anyone wants your SAT score, they can always ask for it, but they will still have the strong GRE score to look at as well. If you put the SAT score on there, no one will ask for the GRE, so all they will have is the possibly decent (though it could be worse, I don't know) SAT score. I wouldn't put both in there, as there is no need for that - I think you go with the GRE score, and if anyone asks about the SAT just tell them score, and don't think twice about it. When people have a subpar score, they often let it bring them down by being negative, or apologizing, or feeling awkward and guilty about it - the hell with that. It's one test, one day - be confident and breeze right past it. If they don't ask for it, then they don't care, and all they see if a strong GRE.
