South Carolina State University is a test-optional institution, meaning students are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. However, self-reporting of scores is not allowed, so students must provide official scores if they choose to submit them. Approximately 9.41% of applicants submit test scores, with 1.25% submitting SAT scores and 8.16% submitting ACT scores. The total exceeds 100% as some students submit both SAT and ACT scores.
