Is there any reason to take an AP French test if I'm taking Hindi at Berkeley?

<p>As an L&S student, you have a number of requirements to complete: foreign language, math, reading&composition, and 7 breadth courses. One of these breadth courses is international studies, which can be completed with a 2nd semester language course here at Cal. (I’d assume this is easy to accomplish if you plan on really getting into Hindi, since you’d be taking >1 class.)

If</a> you complete a second semester course in a foreign language other than the one that fulfilled your L&S foreign language requirement, you may be eligible for International Studies credit. Please check with a college adviser.

<p>By taking a language course in high school and a different one at Cal, you can complete more reqs in a shorter amount of time. (You could also complete international studies breadth by studying abroad.)</p>

In my previous post I assumed that you needed an AP test score to pass out of the foreign language req, but I was wrong. >< Sorry about that. I guess the only benefit to taking the AP test is the extra units… which could bump you up so that you get better registration times.</p>
