Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>According to this website (Language</a> Placement) I can place out of Spanish requirement if I score a 650 or above??</p>

<p>Does that mean I will never have to take a foreign language class at Penn??</p>

<p>Also, am I still able to submit foreign language tests SATII tests to Penn after being admitted? (I want to give the June 6th test a shot and see if I can use that for Penn...)</p>

<p>**Thanks!

<p>yes to all three of my questions??</p>

<p>haha.</p>

<p>Pretty sure it’s a yes for the last question. I’m taking the French tomorrow.</p>

<p>Which UPenn thing do we send the scores to?</p>

5

<p>I know it says on there you can only take it once, but what stops you from taking the test multiple times…?</p>

6

<p>where does it say you can only take it once?</p>

<p>Oh… nm found this:</p>

<p>“A copy of your score along with a placement determination will be sent by email to you as well as to the Spanish Language Program at Penn.”</p>

<p>so if the language isnt listed on the penn website with the language requirements, does that mean i have to take a class anyway?</p>

<p>i took korean with listening and got a 790…</p>

<p>@ dontstopbelievin:</p>

<p>yes, basically. it means they haven’t decided to give credit for the AP or SAT II tests. there may still be a dept. test you could take at Penn. I don’t believe there are any options for Korean, however.</p>

11

<p>are the placement tests harder than the sat / ap?</p>

12

<p>yes… which are harder, the placement test or the SAT II? Also if you place into language 4, can you take this pass/fail?</p>

13

<p>From what I heard from a friend/current student at UPenn, the placement tests are much easier than the AP tests. Not sure about SAT IIs though.</p>

<p>Think the P/F option depends on your school. I think one of the girls in my French class was taking it P/F but she was in nursing…College may be different (they say other section/foundational requirements can’t be taken P/F so I assume language falls under that same rule)</p>
