A passing score in AP English (3 or better) fulfills the requirement. Unfortunately students who take the AP exam in their senior year won't know their AP scores until July. They end up taking the AWPE and paying the $65 for the exam only to find out later that their AP score would have excused them.

It's a ridiculously clever way to make money.

EdibleEgg

^True, but not as ridiculously clever as Collegeboard's monopoly over standardized tests. =P

By the way, do we have an option between taking the chem placement exam or foreign language? Like do we have to take one or the other, but not both?

marzxbarz

You don't have to take either if your major doesn't require you to. If you plan on taking Chem AND a foreign language, you can always take the language placement test after you move in to the dorms.

lol i love how collegeboard says they're a non profit company. just makes me laugh.

blueyoshi

Haha, they can call themselves whatever they want. Not like any one of us is going to believe that nonsense.

GlueEater

They are non profit. Non profit doesn't mean that their services are free. It just means that after everything is accounted for ( salary, pay, mailing, services, developing tests, graders etc) their profit goes down to 0.

denneyk

i think non-profit means that their company isn't on the stock market but yah same ol same ol'. i'm pretty sur on paper their profit is 0 too

ilikeoranges

GlueEater is right, Collegeboard technically doesn't make financial profit.
It also has tax benefits from being a "non-profit".

Denneyk, there are for-profit companies in this world that aren't listed in the stock market. E.g. basically any mom & pop store that isn't a franchise.

GlueEater

I think you are thinking of public/private denneyk.
