Tennessee State University Testing Policy

Test Optional: No

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Tennessee State University is not test optional, meaning applicants are required to submit standardized test scores for undergraduate admissions. However, the university allows self-reporting of these scores, which means students can provide their test results informally for consideration. Currently, 100% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 90% submit ACT scores, indicating that some students are likely submitting both scores, contributing to the total exceeding 100%.
