<p>Does anybody know if getting a 6 on the IB SL French and SL Spanish exams will allow you to be exempt from the foreign language requirement?</p>
<p>did you take the French SAT II?</p>
<p>From Spanish Department:</p>
<p>Students may be exempted from the language requirement in Spanish in one of four ways:</p>
<p>By presenting a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Spanish Language or Spanish Literature Exams. If you received a score of 5 in either exam you will be awarded three advanced placement credits upon successful completion of a 3300-level (or above) course with a grade of B or higher. There is no advanced placement credit granted for a score of 4.
By presenting a score of 780 or above on the SAT Subject Test. Students with a score lower than 780 should take the department’s online placement examination and follow the placement advice received.
By presenting a score of a 7, 6, or 5 on the International Baccalaureate Higher Level Exam in Spanish.
By obtaining a score of 625 or higher in the department’s online placement examination. If your score in the online test qualifies you for exemption from the language requirement, you will be required to take a written version of the placement examination during Orientation (for entering students) or during the semester (for continuing students). This written exam will be offered every year on the Thursday before the beginning of classes in the fall semester from 10:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. in Room 352 of the International Affairs Building (the Language Resource Center Computer Lab). You do not need to make an appointment to sit for this exam.</p>
