The University of Massachusetts is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, which permits students to report their SAT or ACT results without needing to send official score reports directly from the testing agency. Currently, 22% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while only 0.3% submit ACT scores. The combined percentage exceeds 100%, indicating that some students submit both types of scores.
