<p>i can barely speak the language though. i can say hello, etc but i'm not very good at it. i've had a tutor help me and i will do terrible if i have to take tests, etc.</p>
<p>I imagine that she will certainly place out of some of the language requirement. It used to be that if a student had taken AP literature in their language and scored high enough, then they would be exempt from their language requirement at Wake, but I think that now, if you place out of the literature level, you might have to take one level higher or something to fulfill the language requirement because of the new rule that AP courses can't be used to fulfill divisional requirements.</p>
<p>According to the registrar's website, a 4 or a 5 in AP Latin: Vergil places a student into Latin 218, and then that course would then finish the language requirement. A 4 or a 5 in AP Latin: Literature gives a student credit for Latin 555 and the student is instructed to contact the department. I don't know exactly what that means, but I imagine that (like in the math department) it means that it doesn't count for divisional credit but it does count for placement into a certain level. The registrar would probably be the people to call in this instance. They could answer much better than I can.</p>
<p>The language requirement is really not that difficult. I wouldn't really worry about it. </p>
<p>In my Lit class we had two take home essays and a mid-term and a final. The mid term and final were essentially just in class essays. </p>
<p>On another note I think it's a great thing that Wake requires a foreign language.</p>

<p>I agree completely. I've gotten more from knowing another language (not to mention my semester abroad that was enabled by my taking Italian) than I ever dreamed I would.</p>
<p>i'm not very good at writing essay's unless i have a book with me and have plenty of time to make sure i know what i am doing.</p>
