<p>I'm bilingual and don't want to take any lower division language courses but stupid me didn't take the AP test in HS. Is there any way I can fulfill the requirement so that I could still transfer w/o having to take a foreign language?</p>
<p>^no
you have to take it at cc</p>
<p>If courses are available at cc in the language you know you can enroll in the class and then do it credit by examination. The teacher will give you the final like the first week of class and you get whatever grade for the class that you get on that final. A couple people did that in my spanish classes.</p>
<p>Take SAT 2 language test and get a 550 or higher, I took the test when I was in high school and it satisfy both my high school grad requirement and IGETC.</p>
<p>If a Language Other than English is a graduation requirement you might be able to test out of the requirement at the University Level; this way you wouldn't have to worry about the IGETC (although you might want to focus on UC GE Requirements) language requirement. For example, please see the Foreign Language Requirement; A.B. and B.A.S. Degrees section of UC</a> Davis General Catalog | College of Letters and Science Requirements for more information.</p>

<p>ok <a href="http://deanza.edu/transfer/pdf/lote_proficiency_uc_0907.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://deanza.edu/transfer/pdf/lote_proficiency_uc_0907.pdf</a> says 2 years of HS is all you need for IGETC, no AP/pass out of spanish test, nice!</p>
<p>In my experience(I've completed the foreign language requirement) simply being bilingual is not necessarily any indication of an individual's ability to immediately challenge a language class. Many of the native Spanish speakers in my classes were as challenged as I by the material.</p>
<p>Posc - those students were not truly bilingual then. Being able to speak alone is not enough to actually call yourself bilingual- you should be able to read and write properly too</p>
<p>Malishka is right-- they were not truly bilingual. I see this many times, but it does not apply to me at all; I write, speak and read Spanish at the university level.</p>
