Source ↗ · checked Nov 3, 2026
Required for fall 2027 entry. USNA builds its own best-of from verbal and math only, and requires full score reports. It does not accept the College Board or ACT superscore reports: "not the superscore from the College Board or ACT".
How to send scores
Official scores required when you apply
Have the College Board or ACT send official scores when you apply.
School’s words: “We need to receive the full score report directly from the testing service (not the superscore from the College Board or ACT).”
