Foreign Language Proficiency Exam

[cookderosa]

Not that any of this has any bearing on the question asked originally....

but...

I would say knowing a language such as Hindi, Arabic, Cantonese etc could serve someone very well. You should leverage that skill as much as you can. I don't think it matters if that language skill is documented in a college degree, or in some other manner.

As to whether or not you should use those tests/credits instead of more general credits. I don't think that having Pottery 101 or Sociology 100 on a transcript will get you your dream job or help you compete any more successfully. The only exception could be if you needed Pottery 101 to get into an upper level course, like Theories of Pottery Management 300.

Want to use that language skill for credit? Go for it. Want to take a more general exam? Go for it. No difference in utility.
