Test policy

Test required Applicants must send an SAT or ACT score.

FAMU states it is not test-optional: SAT, ACT or CLT scores are required of first-year applicants (page names no entry year). The international page also says international freshmen must submit official ACT and/or SAT results. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)

The middle 50%: a quarter of admitted students who sent scores scored below the first number, a quarter above the second. The total adds up the two sections' ranges, so it's approximate.
