I also wanna throw a question out there regarding this, considering the posters unique case. He is apparently Indian (based on the name) and will be taking the proficiency tests in his native languges. Is this eligible for credit? I seen on one of the websites (NYU i think) that you can also do this test for English for non-native speakers. Surely a native speaker of english couldn't do this exam and get university credit for it, so how about people that learned these other testable languages natively? Now... the reason why I care, is because my wife is also working on her bachelors degree, and she is Chinese, and speaks/reads natively Cantonese and Mandarin. English is her third language. If she were to take these proficieny tests, like Mr. Reshab, is she eligible for credits, would you think, in her 2 native languages - or only if she took the English proficieny test? It would be a heck of a lot of credits if she could take this proficiency exams based on her native languages for credit, probably enough for her to finish undergrad since she is already 3+ years in to Uni.
