<p>RE: #9, this was a long time ago, my family’s first quarter of any university, it’s a bit fuzzy. I mainly recall being annoyed she had to take it as I thought the summer school classes had worked.</p>
<p>Berkeley DD did use her 3 years of HS Spanish to skip language course, I don’t recall reading that possibility for her older sister, but I wonder why the mid-range UC would be so much stricter. I also don’t recall DD doing any Spanish placement test, but I am sure it was 4 quarters required.</p>
<p>It may very well be that I could have found a way around that requirement with a more assertive approach.</p>
