Foreign Language placement exam?

<p>I got straight As in 5 years of HS spanish, but didn’t take either the subject test or the AP exam. I’d like to take something like French, but since I’m going to try for a double major I don’t want it to be a graduation requirement.</p>

<p>Anyways, my school had a fairly awful foreign language program. AP Spanish was the 7th year course. Would I have any chance of passing the placement exam.</p>

<p>You have nothing to lose by trying. If you don't place out of the requirement so you can take French without pressure, appeal to the language dept. There's often a way around such things because their ultimate goal is to get students to study languages.</p>

<p>I took 3 years of Spanish, was terrible at it, and tested into 4th semester Spanish. The Spanish exam is also multiple choice, so you could end up with some lucky guesses</p>

<p>Definitely take the placement test anyway, it can't hurt, and it's not too much of a pain since for Spanish, it's online. Just give it a shot. :)</p>

<p>Goddammit.</p>

<p>It's not letting me take the exam. This website: Boston</a> University Orientation - Diagnostic Examinations links me to: WebCAPE</a> Placement Exam Registration</p>

<p>WHAT ACCOUNT PASSWORD? I tried using my kerberos password, but it did absolutely nothing.</p>

<p>The password is: terriers1</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
