In terms of language tests, what is a good score for a non native speaker?

<p>I took the November Japanese with Listening test, and I got a 750. I know the percentiles are probably affected by the number of native speakers who took the test, but in past years a 750 is around the 50th percentile... meaning I did worse on the test than 50% of the test takers.</p>

<p>Will this affect my chances of getting into a top tier college? (such as Stanford and Yale) Is 750 a good score for a non-native speaker?</p>

<p>I think it’s a very good score and you should be proud of it.</p>

<p>It’s a good score considering the curve. Congratulations.</p>

<p>Japanese is a difficult language, so as a non-native speaker your score will be viewed very favorably.</p>

<p>Hi Natalle! I think I met you (I was the schoolfriend of the girl you knew) right before you did Japanese and I did French. I got 770 in French, which isn’t too much higher than your 750, and I actually think for us non natives/non AP takers/non massive exchangers these scores are pretty good. I know that Princeton has a minimum of 760 to place out of French, and your 750 is pretty much the same score as that. In any case, congratulations!</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Seeing I’ve already done the test, worrying about it won’t make things any better so I’ll just have to deal with it. =)</p>

<p>@Schrodingerscat: I think I met you too! In fact, I think you just accepted my facebook friend request. =) Congratulations on your 770!</p>
