SAT Scores are optional

This university has a test-optional policy.

Admission for non-Saudi students to KAU typically requires the national aptitude tests (GAT and SAAT). However, for applicants from international schools with an American-style curriculum, the university's admissions deanship accepts the SAT as an equivalent qualification. Therefore, the SAT is an optional pathway for this specific group of applicants.

Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
