<p>um…if i understood correctly, youre thinking the test might be a waste of time since you’ll only get siz credits and you want people to know youre good at german. A few things- yes, there will be a note on your transcript if you pass out of your language requirment, though since there is only one language requirment, they may just give you a certificate for german and write that you passed Chinese. you really ought to ask, this is proabaly something left to your advisor. And if it really bugs you, our dean is totally willing to help with weird technical things- you can petition to have the fluence show up. But also, these tests arent easy- while i have faith in your ability to pass chinese, you may be underestimating how tough these tests are if you think you’re gonna get six credits. We have some of the greatest/most intense language programs in the world, and the tests demand a lot. But finally, couldn’t you just tell grad schools you’re fluent in german? There is a section that asks for languages that you know, and it doesnt ask whether you learned them in college or got them from a fairy. It should be all the same, really.</p>
