Northwestern applies one policy regarding how much test credit is awarded to all undergraduate students regardless of major or school. In nearly all areas Northwestern awards credit for scores of 5; in some cases credit is also awarded for scores or 3 or 4. Each undergraduate school then determines how the credit may apply to degree requirements.
