Testing Information
Information for 2022-2023 School Year:
SAT/ACT is not required if you plan to apply to a UC or CSU, and will not be considered for admissions or scholarships. If you choose to send your SAT and ACT scores (i.e. for math/English placement or to fulfill an A-G area), you can send them to the campuses you are applying to directly from the testing center. If you send SAT and/or ACT scores to one CSU or one UC, scores will be shared with all other campuses in that college system. Some private and out of state colleges are still requiring SAT/ACT scores for admission purposes.
