Am I loco? Confused about Duke's foreign language subject test recommendation.

<p>I talked to Duke Admissions twice about this and am still confused(maybe I'm not smart enough to go there) Their site suggests taking the foreign language SAT subject test but when I talked to admissions he pretty much said not taking it was no big deal. I have always thought that when admissions suggests something, you better do it. Here is what the admission web site says:
"Duke’s Trinity College Curriculum includes a foreign language component,
students are encouraged—but not required—to take the foreign
language SAT Subject Test" The problem is that although I have taken three years of honors Spanish, the only Spanish I really know is from Taco Bell. Anyone want to advise me on this, especially others that have/will apply to Trinity at Duke? Mucho Gracias.</p>
