So I’m thinking about taking either Chinese 1AX or 10AX my first semester at Cal since I am a native speaker. But I haven’t read or written anything in Chinese for years so my basics are kinda rusty and therefore I didn’t do too well on the placement exam. My result was 1BX, which isn’t offered in the fall. I check the 10AX course and it says that “Any student who enrolls in a class below his/her level will be dropped from the class.” But it doesn’t say anything about enrolling in class HIGHER than his/her level. Would I be able to just sign up for 10AX even though I didn’t get that on the placement exam.
