South Dakota State University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

South Dakota State University is test optional and allows self reporting of standardized test scores, meaning applicants can choose whether to submit standardized test scores and may self-report their scores instead of sending official reports. A remarkable 100% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 20% submit ACT scores; the sum of these percentages exceeds 100% because some applicants submit both scores. This policy provides greater flexibility for students in the admissions process.
