One imagines that students with any reason to suspect the university they're applying to will not know enough about their high school, or possibly derogatory information about their high school, will submit an application with test scores attached in the "optional" cases. One of the other reasons for this is because students completely unprepared for college from public schools are an increasing problem. This is also why they now all offer remedial classes under varying names and programs, and why first-year university programs are much easier than they were in say, 1940.
