James Madison University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

James Madison University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT as part of their application. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of these scores, which enables students to provide their test scores without needing to submit official documents initially. Among applicants, 23% choose to submit SAT scores while 3% submit ACT scores; the combined total exceeds 100% due to some students reporting both tests.
