All applicants to Dartmouth, including those who apply from foreign
countries, are required to take the following:
Please
Note: Students may submit scores from
either the old SAT I or the new SAT I (with writing). Similarly, students may
submit scores from either the regular ACT (if taken prior to February 2005) or
from the ACT with writing (if taken in February 2005 or after).
- Any two SAT II Subject Tests.
- The TOEFL (Test of English as a
Foreign Language) is strongly encouraged for foreign students for whom English
is not the principal language of instruction and for non-native speakers of
English. TOEFL is given at centers throughout the world and must be taken early
enough so that the results are reported to Dartmouth by January of the year of
intended entrance.
All testing must be completed by January of the senior year in high school.
If standardized testing is repeated, the Admissions Committee only considers
your highest scores. Information and test registration forms may be obtained
from your high school guidance office or by writing to the College Board or the
American College Testing Program. Dartmouth's College Board number is 3351, and
the ACT code number is 2508.

Standardized Testing FAQ
What if I have taken the old SAT and the new SAT? Which scores
will you use?
It is our intent to evaluate our applicants’ best performance on
standardized exams. Accordingly, and recognizing this is a transition
year for the new SAT, our evaluation will consider each applicant’s best scores
in each area regardless of whether the scores are from the old exam or the new
one.
What if I have taken the ACT without writing and the ACT with
writing? Which scores will you use?
Consistent with our intent to evaluate our applicants’ best performance, we
will consider each applicant’s best composite score, and - where available -
their writing score.
What if I submit more than the required number of SAT II exam
scores?
We will use your highest two SAT II exam scores.
Will Dartmouth accept scores from the SAT II Writing
exam?
Yes, if the SAT II Writing exam score is one of the applicant’s highest SAT
II scores.
Will Dartmouth combine sub-scores from different ACT
exams?
We will not use sub-scores from different administrations of the ACT to
recalculate a new composite score.
