I've recently joined these forums and begun my standardized testing journey. So far, I've manage to clep out of algebra, precalculus, sociology, psychology, and college composition. I am attempting all of these exams so that I can transfer the credits to my college (University of Alaska Fairbanks) in order to save some money and more importantly.. Time.
UAF seems to offer something that's rather uncommon. They will give 1 class worth of foreign language credit for a score of only 39. 2 classes for 50. 3 for 55. And 4 for 60.
I took a year of German way back, 5 years ago. I remember none of it. However, I feel that achieving a score of 39 might be possible just by plain guessing. For example picking B or C for every answer.
I'm not looking to throw around money... But if there's a reasonable possibility that I could get a 39 purely by chance. I think the risk to reward ratio might just be too tempting.
I'm curious as to thoughts anyone has about this idea, and if anyone has attempted something similar.
Always looking to take one step forward.
The German pass rate is sheet I have shows 79% which is pretty solid. Here's my suggestion, spend a little time over on Duolingo's free website for German. You can refresh the basics and like Suzanne said, you don't have much to lose.
