USA Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

Please see the table below to determine the minimum indicative score you will need to achieve to be considered for undergraduate degrees at ANU.

At a minimum, all applicants must meet program-specific academic/non-academic requirements, and English language requirements. Please refer to Programs and Courses for the most up-to date admission requirements for your preferred program. Admission to some ANU programs is on a competitive basis. Therefore, meeting all admission requirements does not guarantee entry into the program.

SAT results are accepted for admission when presented alongside any senior secondary qualification, provided that:

• The senior secondary qualification is equivalent to the Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (SSCE); and
• The University does not have an assessment schedule for the senior secondary qualification.

Acceptable qualifications alongside the SAT include but are not limited to:

Applicants who are currently undertaking or who have completed a senior secondary qualification other than those listed above are encouraged to contact the ANU Admissions and Scholarships Office to confirm whether their qualification is equivalent to the SSCE.
