<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>Did any transfer student have to take an English profiency test like TOEFL or IELTS to register for classes after being admitted into the UW?</p>

<p>I went to middle school, high school in the US, and took 2 college level English composition classes. But I was not born in the US, do I have to take the English profiency test?</p>

<p>Please help, thanks.</p>

<p>Anyway I see that you are already accepted, so that shouldn’t be a problem for you?
The admission office informed me to send in my scores two weeks after I submitted my application. Since they did not contact you, I believe that you’re not required to do so.</p>

<p>Having finished middle school, high school, and two college English classes, you meet the English requirements for admittance.</p>

<p>Sorry for not making myself clear.</p>

<p>This requirement is for registration and not for admission. I am admitted but I heard that some people have to take the proficiency test and wondering if any of you have.</p>

<p>Don’t worry. If you started in 7th grade in America or if you earned an associate in an American college you don’t have to do anything. If you mean the placement test by the proficiency test then no, transfers don’t have to take it.</p>

<p>I read on the UW website that if I have an associate degree then I won’t have to take it (The bad thing is I don’t :frowning: ), are you sure about the 7th grade markline? I am very worried, since my sister told me financial aid won’t pay for the AEP classes (classes to improve your english) at UW. I am very bad at any pure English test.</p>

<p>Ooops. My bad. I don’t remember where and when I saw about the 7th grade to be honest. I’m not even sure it was for the UW.</p>

<p>Can you try to take a test? SAT and the one they have at the UW? I don’t think they should be very hard.</p>

<p>I took the SAT and ACT, did ridiculously bad on both. :(</p>

<p>I would try again. Maybe you will be fine. Prepare for the tests. Try taking UW’s test – I think it’s $20. </p>

<p>Are you on track to get your Associate? Maybe you can get the needed credits during the summer?</p>
