Standardized Tests

You can self-report your standardized test scores or report tests you plan to take in this section. Some of the programs you apply to may require you to report certain test scores; be sure to check with your programs to ensure you are completing all requirements. Visit the Applicant Help Center for more information.

  • Freshman Applicants: ACT and SAT test scores will not be used for any admission purposes and applicants are not required to submit these scores. If you took the ACT or SAT and already sent your scores to a CSU campus, you can add your information and College Board or ACT ID number below. If you have not sent your scores to a CSU campus, no further action is needed at this time. If you are accepted and you elect to submit your SAT and ACT scores, these results will only be used as one of the measures to place you in the proper mathematics and English courses.

  • Transfer Applicants: Add any Advanced Placement (AP), CLEP, and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests that satisfy general education requirements. For more details, review the External Exam Credit Information. If you completed less than 60 transferrable units and took the SAT and/or ACT, report your results here. While SAT and ACT scores are not required, we encourage lower division transfer applicants to report any results here. Upper division transfer students or transfer students earning an ADT do not need to report ACT or SAT results. If you do not plan to take any exams, click I Am Not Adding Any Standardized Tests.

  • Graduate Applicants: report your GMAT and GRE results or the date you plan to take the tests. If you do not plan to take the exams, click I Am Not Adding Any Standardized Tests.

  • International Applicants: report your IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE results or the date you plan to take the tests. If you do not plan to take the exams, click I Am Not Adding Any Standardized Tests.
Once you submit your application, you cannot edit previously entered tests, but you can add new tests.

Note that self-reporting your scores isn’t the same as providing official scores to your programs. See Sending Official Test Scores for more information.
