Foreign Language Proficiency Exam

[cookderosa]

Dear Jeniffer,
someone in the other post has stated that Excelsior is accepting both CLEP and ACTPL without duplication ( FRENCH) . because CLEP is written and listening whereas ACTPL is speaking. and he have done that. even he had also posted the email from course adviser from Excelsior.

But as the languages in which i want to do ( Hindi and Punjabi) is not in CLEP , but in NYU ( which is written , listening and translation) (not ACE approved) (also NYU doesn't give credit's themselves.. accepting colleges should) and ACTPL ( speaking ) ( ACE approved) so am curious what's their policy on these two exams.

Thanks and Hope I made myself clear.

Reshab,
Take one and get it evaluated when you pay your $75 application fee.
Honestly, I don't believe that someone got duplicate credit. Sorry, I just don't believe that it's possible- no matter what the test asked. There has to be more to the story that is missing. Also, don't take an exam that IS NOT ACE evaluated until you are enrolled, that could be a mistake. You need that confirmed by an advisor. Just take the test that is ACE evaluated for now.


I disagree with the previous poster regarding which courses you use to fill your gen ed electives for an undergrad degree. He implies certain under grad gen ed electives might give you a leg up in a job interview. No one cares. When is the last time an interviewer asked you if you took psych101? Answer- never. Master's courses? Sure- choose wisely. Undergrad electives? That's about as likely as being asked what electives you took in high school.
