Should I take a test to eliminate foreign languages entirely using my second language for credits? Is it worth it
So, I will be going into the 8th Grade soon and I really need some advice:
Should I take a test to eliminate foreign languages entirely using my second language?
Why I am asking: I recently spoke with a family-friend of mine who was accepted by Yale University and she gave me some advice but I still had some questions. Because in my school, Spanish 1, 2, and 3 are all considered "on-level" which can hurt my weighted GPA. And after that, Spanish 4 and 5 are considered AP classes. I am also a United States(Texas) resident so Spanish might be important to learn.

If you speak Spanish, I suggest giving the test a try. While it might seem more challenging than just speaking the language, it can really pay off. When I tested out of some Spanish classes in college, it was tough but worth it. If you can skip the lower-level classes and jump straight to AP courses, it could really boost your GPA.
Learning Spanish is a fantastic skill, especially in Texas. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck!
