The SAT or ACT is needed for every incoming freshman student-athlete, for acceptance at your university and the NCAA. Due to Covid-19, the NCAA has changed their requirements. For the NCAA, it’s not mandatory anymore to file an SAT score for all 2020, 2021 and 2022 incoming classes. Many universities have adopted that rule as well. Therefore, for many universities an SAT or ACT test is not required anymore to get accepted into a school. However, for some schools it still is a requirement. Also, with a high SAT or ACT score it’s possible to earn extra academic scholarships. Summarized, in many cases it’s not mandatory to take the test, but still smart to take it for extra admissions chances and scholarship opportunities!
