AP Credits

[SantasHelper]

<p>For AP Credits (<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pub/ap/table.htm[/url]”>http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pub/ap/table.htm&lt;/a&gt;) it says you need a 740 or a 4 on the AP Spanish Test to receive credit. Is the 740 on the Spanish SAT II with listening, or just the Spanish SAT II? Also, if I pass that, does that mean that I don’t have to take a language class at all?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

**May I use my AP scores to reduce my course load in any given semester at Princeton or to fulfill distribution requirements?</p>

<p>Students cannot use advanced placement in any subject to reduce the number of courses taken in any term, nor can it be used to fulfill the writing requirement or other distribution requirements, with the exception of the language requirement (see below). </p>

<p>What scores are needed to place out of the language requirement?</p>

<p>An AP score of 4 or a 740 on the SAT II in French, German, or Spanish will place you out of the language requirement. Latin requires an AP 4 or score of 720 on the SAT II. An SAT II score of 740 in Italian or SAT II of 650 in Modern Hebrew will allow you to place out of these languages. For a complete list of the AP and SAT II scores needed for advanced standing at Princeton, please click here.</p>

<p>If you place out of the language and want to pursue further studies in a language, you may do so.</p>

<p>If you do not place out of the language, you must complete three full semesters of any of the Romance languages (i.e., French, Italian, or Spanish) or four full semesters of any other language (such as Hebrew, German, Japanese, etc.) in order to fulfill the language requirement. If you are beginning a new language you may simply enroll in the first semester of the sequence (generally 101), but if you have some experience in the language you must take a placement test so we can determine your appropriate place in the sequence. Placement tests in French, Italian, German and Spanish will be available online after July 15; placement tests in other languages will be available during orientation.

<p>Now for the question of whether or not the listening is required… Unless of course, I did not read that properly. :(</p>
