SAT Requirements for Purdue University
Purdue University requires SAT scores for admission, but the university is test-optional, meaning students can choose whether to submit SAT or ACT scores.
The test-optional policy allows students to decide what test to submit based on their strengths and preferences. While SAT and ACT scores are optional, they can significantly influence admission decisions, particularly for applicants with scores above 1450. Purdue does not super-score SAT or ACT results, so students should focus on performing well on a single test or strategically combining results if they take both.
