Ball State University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Ball State University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, which enables students to share their test results without official documentation at the time of application. Currently, 37% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while only 1% submit ACT scores; this discrepancy suggests that some students may be submitting both types of scores, contributing to the overall submission figures.
