Stony Brook University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

The State University of New York at Stony Brook is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of scores, which enables students to share their test results informally before official scores are sent. Approximately 34% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 3% submit ACT scores. The combined total exceeds 100% due to some students submitting both types of scores.
