I don't know if this credit would be duplicative with the 16cr. NYU language test:
http://www.acenet.edu/AM/Template.cfm?Se...entID=6913
Its an oral interview done over the phone. You can earn up to 12 credits in Urdu (8LL + 4UL). Its costs a couple hundred I think.
All the contact information is in the ACE review.

HOW DO YOU GUYS KNOW ALL THIS STUFF??!!!
I am so thankful to you guys for taking the time to post this stuff. This is BIG news to me. I emailed them this morning and dare I say the cost is sustantially less going this route. Its $134 for a 30 min phone interview test.
If you clear the test you get 8L+ 4UL credits. This is much cheaper than the NYU $420 for 16 credits.
BTW they also have English listed as a foreign language test. Perhaps others may want to check out this route.
THANK YOU OLD RUSTY PIPE . YOU ROCK!!

Am amazed at the knowledge of these talented testers too!
English as a foreign language? WOW, I wonder if that would be worth doing for a BS if I already have lots of elective credits?
