<p>I’m not sure what the placement test requirements and options are for schools other than CAS, but for CAS you can take them to test out of Quantitative Reasoning and the foreign language requirement (even if you don’t have the appropriate AP’s) and to determine your appropriate level for calculus, chemistry and biology. Here is the advising/placement test link from the CAS Summer Orientation website. It should answer all your questions: [NYU</a> | CAS | Freshman Orientation | Important Information about Placement/Proficiency Examinations](<a href=“http://www.nyu.edu/cas/orientation/placement.html]NYU”>http://www.nyu.edu/cas/orientation/placement.html)</p>
