The goal was to go test blind in 2023 not now but due to Covid, they opted to go test blind this admission cycle. If they will stay test blind for next year, then the SAT will not be required but if they go test optional, high scores will be beneficial. You are early in the planning process and may find schools that require test scores or are test optional so it is to your benefit to have scores just in case.

This is for Fall 2021 only:

UC will not consider SAT or ACT test scores when making admissions decisions or awarding Regents and Chancellor’s scholarships. If you choose to submit test scores as part of your application, they may be used to determine your eligibility for the California statewide admissions guarantee, as an alternative method of fulfilling minimum requirements for eligibility or for course placement after you enroll.
