Occidental College Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Occidental College is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT for undergraduate admissions. Additionally, the college allows self-reporting of test scores, allowing students to report their scores without needing to submit official documents initially. Of applicants, 20% choose to submit SAT scores and 8% choose to submit ACT scores, which totals 28%. This indicates that some students may be submitting both types of scores.
