<p>I think I would contact the language department or admissions directly since I don’t know the real answer to this. If they give credit (regardless of test score) if you have AP credit, you might want to consider letting her self-study and take AP test or SAT 2 in her language as soon as she finishes (if they accept that score for placement).I know that every student is required to take math placement before orientation, either algebra or calculus depending on major…but in case of math AP credit has priority. My daughter place highest possible on USC placement, which means Calc 1, but had 5 on AP Calc BC and skipped both calcs and went directly to Vector based on that. Language may be the same.</p>
<p>The top score in the USC language test could place you out of language altogether, but you’re right that it’s hard to keep up fluency for whole year.</p>
