<p>I took French up to level II and then I gave up because the teacher was awful and my schedule was full. But I'm pretty fluent in Chinese (which I can show with an 800 SAT score), so could that make up for the deficiency (I know some schools required 3-4 years of a foreign language).</p>
<p>hmm..... you'd probably want to ask your counselor or even call the school and ask</p>
<p>Yeah, ask your counselor.</p>
<p>In my school district, you can test out of classes and earn credits. They're called Credit By Exam or something like that. But the tests are only offered in a few subject areas.</p>
<p>well i'm chinese too, but i took two years of spanish: 2 and 4.</p>
<p>i'm going to take french 4 next year, coz i heard that they got a very harsh french teacher, yay, harsh teachers make me feel more confident on tests. </p>
<p>When did you move here? like me i've just been in US for 2 years, so probably no university would recognize my score on SAT chinese, and actually i don't even bother to take it.</p>
