Penn State Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Pennsylvania State University is test-optional, meaning students are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, which means applicants can report their SAT or ACT results on their application without needing to provide official documents initially. Approximately 31.06% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 5.39% submit ACT scores; the sum exceeds 36% as some students submit both types of scores.
