• Texas Tech practices superscoring for SAT scores, combining the highest section scores from multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but do not replace SAT/ACT in the admissions process unless under test-optional guidelines.
• Applicants are recommended to target an SAT score of 1160 or higher to align with the average of admitted students at Texas Tech University and increase competitiveness.
