TSU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 900–1100 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1000
• 75th Percentile: Around 1100, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional for admission to Tennessee State University (TSU) due to test-optional policies implemented in recent years; however, submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• TSU evaluates SAT scores as part of a holistic review process, considering them alongside GPA and other criteria rather than as a strict threshold.
• Tennessee State University does practice superscoring for SAT scores, meaning they will consider the highest section scores across multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT scores in admissions.
• For competitive applications, prospective students should aim for an SAT score of at least 1000–1100 to align with or exceed the average scores of admitted students at TSU.
