University of California System Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

The University of California System is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT for admission. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of scores, which means applicants can provide their scores without needing to submit official score reports initially. Notably, 100% of applicants submit SAT scores, and 100% submit ACT scores, indicating that some students choose to submit both types of test scores.
