<p>How much weight is put on the standardized tests for transfer students?</p>
<p>I am taking the ACT and the SAT II now because I never took them in high school. </p>
<p>Actually, I took the ACT this Saturday and fear that I effed up big time. First, they don't give us enough TIME to complete the test WELL. I was on question 60 (of 75) on the English test and the guys announces ,"You have 5 minutes!"....***!!...And I totally BSed the Math and Science portions of the test. I just pray to God that I had dumb luck and get a good score.</p>
<p>'Nuff b*tchin'. </p>
<p>Can anyone give me a heads up on the SAT Literature and Spanish tests are?</p>
<p>as far as i know, standardized tests are not required for transfer students who have completed a year or more of their college degree. although having good scores will definitely boost your prospects.</p>
<p>gotta agree with you on the ACT haha. the science section for the december ACT left me dumbstruck. i have a 27 composite score from a previous test date which is far from the Stern range. i'm pretty sure I did worse on this ACT even though i actually studied for it.</p>
<p>can't help you with the Lit and Spanish. good luck for them though!</p>
<p>There is conflicting information on the NYU website.</p>
<p>On one page, they state that they "encourage" students to send in 2 Subject Test score. On another, they said they require it. Encourage and require are VERY different. </p>
<p>Also, in the Standardized Test Q&A page it is wirrten:</p>
<p>"I am a transfer student. Do I need to take the new version of the SAT?</p>
<p>No, unless you will have completed less than one year of college work before you plan to enter NYU or unless you have never taken either the SAT or the ACT. Simply provide scores for the standardized tests you took while in high school."</p>
<p>Well, by the time I apply to NYU I will have had 3 semesters of college AND I've never taken these test. So what do I do?</p>
<p>Furthermore, on the application check list (under "Transfer") it says that you must sumbit either your SAT or ACT Score, but says nothing about 2 subject tests.</p>
