Not necessarily, I was homeschooled and took the SAT at a private Christian school.

Not necessarily. Here in California at least you can transfer into a 4-year college after you've done 50+ units at a junior college - no test scores required.

The colleges are much more interested in how you did in those classes and whether you could succeed in that environment than what any test score was.

In fact, I've been told that colleges prefer the older transfer students to the newbie 'tested' freshman because they former has a higher rate of 'serious' students and more often than not perform better.

You don't have to set foot in a public school to take these tests, if you're a homeschooler. You just sign up online, pay with a credit card, and pick whatever test center in your area you want. Many universities public & private serve as test centers.
