Transfer non-AP credits

<p>My school doesn't have AP exams and I'll be going to cornell next year (engineering maybe). I took calculus this year and did well, so I'd rather not repeat it unless cornell adds something extra to it. I saw something about an exam at orientation. Is my best bet to wait until then and take it? Are there any other things I should try to place out of? What about languages; I haven't taken french in HS, but I know it well enough to get into a higher course.</p>
