How can I pass the Language Requirement at UChicago

<p>As an new incoming student to UChicago I'm wondering if it's possible for me to fulfill the language requirement without having to take the AP. </p>

<p>Besides testing out in a competency exam at the school, does anyone know if there are any other ways to fulfill the requirement. </p>

<p>Will the SAT II or CLEP exam credit work for Spanish?</p>

<p>I don’t know about SAT II/CLEP Exam work, but you can take a Language Competency test here or you can study abroad and take a language course there (also satisfies the Civilizations Core req.) </p>

<p>This link has all the ways to test out:

<p>The SAT II won’t work. But what’s the problem with the competency test? I have the strong impression that they aren’t that hard, if you are in fact competent in the language.</p>

<p>I took the language competency test for German - you do the language placement tests online over the summer before you actually start at school. It wasn’t particularly hard, and it placed me into the right level.</p>
