(原文)
UC-approved high school courses
Two years (three years recommended) of the same language other than English. Courses should emphasize speaking and understanding, and include instruction in grammar, vocabulary, reading, composition and culture. American Sign Language and classical languages, such as Latin and Greek, are acceptable. Courses taken in the seventh and eighth grades may be used to fulfill part or all of this requirement if the high school accepts them as equivalent to its own courses.
SAT Subject Test
The following scores are satisfying:
- Chinese with Listening: 520
- French/French With Listening: 540
- German/German With Listening: 510
- Modern Hebrew: 470
- Italian: 520
- Japanese With Listening: 510
- Korean With Listening: 500
- Latin: 530
- Spanish/Spanish With Listening: 520
AP or IB examination
Score of 3,4,5 on the AP Language or Literature Exam in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese or Spanish; score of 5, 6 or 7 on an IB Language A2 HL exam.
只要在SAT Subject Test Chinese有考到 520, 或是AP Chinese有3分以上，就可滿足UC A-G高中成績單的語文類的要求。即是不需要課程直接用考試的分數也算是滿足語文類的學分數。
