<p>I speak French as my first language and was wondering if I could take the AP test for it and earn credit for UCSD. I am a Junior student there. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I am not from the US and don't know how AP tests work.</p>
<p>Thank for your help!</p>
<p>Are you a junior in high school or college?</p>
<p>HS - yes, through this: [Advanced</a> Placement Credit](<a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/front/APCredit.html]Advanced”>http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/front/APCredit.html)</p>
<p>college - no, you can’t take the AP exam for credit. but if french is your first language, then you can pass out of your college’s language requirement if it has one.</p>
<p>I am a junior at ucsd right now. I was just wondering if there was any way to get any credit for speaking a foreign language</p>
<p>There are ways, but they’re not very ethical and if you don’t need a language requirement to graduate, why bother? It’s like pretending you don’t know calculus and taking precalc to get the easy A.</p>
<p>If UCSD rules allow it, then there is nothing wrong with it.</p>
<p>There is no rule prohibiting students to take AP tests of their first language.</p>
<p>No, not at this point. You had to take the AP tests before you entered college. :(</p>
<p>You can’t get AP credit, but I’m pretty sure you can challenge the course’s.</p>
