​
According to PrepScholar:

Concerned about the West Point admissions requirements? We walk you through everything you need to know about how to get into West Point, to help you start your application on the right foot.

https://blog.prepscholar.com/how-to-get-into-west-pointYou have to take the SAT or ACT to get into West Point. There are many other requirements. I’ve paraphrased them from the PrepScholar page linked above, in case you have trouble reading it.
