future13, a lot of schools will waive the subject test requirement if you take the ACT. However, NYU is NOT one of those schools. You must take the ACT in addition to 2 subject tests. In my opinion, ACT is way better.

One tip for you: bubble in a response for each question that you don’t get to. Like one minute before the time is up, go through and just bubble in randomly. It may seem crazy, but ACT doesn’t count off like the SAT if you answer a question incorrectly. I bet that just by bubbling in all of the choices you could gain another point on your composite score, just because some of the choices you guessed should be right, statistically. That said, don’t do just half the questions and then bubble-away. Be careful with time. The english section for me was mad easy, I made like a 35 on that part. But science SUCKED and i only got a 24. So my composite ended up like a 29 all together, which is in NYU’s range. The middle 50% range for accepted students is 29-31.
