UIDAHO SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 990–1220 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1100
• Percentile: Middle 50% of admitted students fall within the 990–1220 range

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are optional for admission to the University of Idaho (UIDAHO) as the university has adopted a test-optional policy for most applicants.
• When submitted, SAT scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, with no strict minimum threshold for admission.
• UIDAHO does practice superscoring for the SAT, meaning the highest section scores from multiple test dates are combined to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT scores in the admissions process.
• Prospective students are recommended to target an SAT score of at least 1100 or higher to be competitive for admission at the University of Idaho.
