When do incoming students take placement tests for NU? Which subjects do they take the tests for?
Most don’t take any. AP/IB is used for most cases. I think the only case where placement tests are common is for languages. You can find the timetables for those likely on a Northeastern website with some digging.
What if you have orientation before AP scores are released? Advisors wouldn’t know which courses you can place out of
At orientation, if your AP grades are not in yet,they place you based upon your having passed. Then your schedule is adjusted if you don’t get a good enough score.
