<p>Question is in the title. :D</p>
<p>I’m guessing it’s only if you want credit/placement for a specific language. If you’re confused though, the easiest way to get the real answer is to email someone from UMD.</p>
<p>Well, here’s a link on foreign language placement:</p>

<p>If you took AP Language exams and scored a 4 or 5 you can place out of introductory foreign language courses in German, French, Latin and Spanish. You’ll need to score a 5 to place out of Italian 204 though. See here:

<p>Thanks! 10 char</p>
<p>I received credit for French 203, 204, and 211, as a result of scoring a 5 on the French AP exam, however, this seems to vary greatly by the language you studied.</p>
