I took the AP in English with a score of 5 if I remember right. Anyway, a 4 or 5 got me out of 2 years of college English; I think a 3 would get me out of 1 year. Of course, I made up for it by taking other English classes (folklore, CW, etc.)! :D I graduated, all together, about three years late! But that's what you get for changing majors from nursing to Spanish after two years _and_ having to start the language part from Spanish 101. I probably could've gotten a minor in Latin or Classics; and probably spent enough time there that a second degree (in Classics) could have been obtained without much more work (basicly a few more semesters of Greek). Ah well: wouldacouldashoulda! Padraic.
