[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the responses.  They only need 1 year of language to graduate high school.  However, I feel like they probably need more years of a class to be eligible/competitive for college admissions.

We have asked around and the question is whether the AP exam can fulfill the "2 years of language" or "4 years of language requirements."  We haven't gotten clear answers.  Just curious if others have run into issues when applying to universities if they only have an AP exam and 1 or 2 years of another language.[/quote]
[b]What school system is high school in? [/b]
Having AP language with score 5 is an impressive credential for admissions. But without any corresponding courses on HS transcript they would assume it's students nativel language. Look into your school system offers World language credit by exam.

one year of foreign language required by a high school doesn't sound right.  OP, are you sure?  And the fact that your kid got a 5 is not impressive when so many Americans are fluent in another language.  Of course if your family speaks spanish you will score a 5. What you should be doing is 3 to 4 years of another language in high school.  That's what colleges are looking for.[/quote]
