<p>^It really depends on a student’s major and their advisor.</p>
<p>I have a friend who is pre-pharm and took AP Cal and got a 5, yet they still made her take the placement test and ended up forcing her to take College Algebra last semester and she’s taking Cal. 122 this semester (the easier cal.)</p>
<p>You can always call the foreign language department and ask. I work there and the people are pretty friendly and fairly helpful.</p>
<p>The rule is though, if you took AP, the highest they’ll give you credit for is 122. If you did IB, they’ll give you credit into the 200 levels, so it’s really difficult to pass the requirement based on the AP exam. I would know. I received a 2 on the AP exam and thus didn’t get any credit, but placed into 300 level here and was able to get back-credit for 121 and 122, because I got an A in my 300 level course.</p>
<p>In order to pass the 122 mark (which is the mark required by the College of Arts and Sciences… and the highest requirement), your daughter would have to either get at least a 5 on the placement test (completely Part I and get some credit for Part II) or get at least a 4 on the AP exam.

<p>If your daughter has taken four years of language, that places her in a really good position. Each year is equivalent to about a semester of college language, so ideally your daughter would place into the 200 level. I would just suggest that your daughter review all of her grammar, some vocabulary, and speaking before she takes the test, and she should do fine.</p>
<p>And they don’t give credit for the SAT 2’s. They only give credit for AP and IB HL. I actually have a friend who has an issue, because she took French IB SL and scored very well, but the college doesn’t recognize that.</p>
