Quotes from German Program Graduates:
"Tell your students that AP German is well worth the work.  I received a 4 on the AP exam and tested out of 30 hours of classes.  I earned a bonus 8 credits because I scored so high.  It has saved me a lot of time and money.  Think of it this way:  You have to go to school anyway.  Why not take AP and challenge yourself."
Megan Murphy, BWHS Class of 2005
Ohio University

"After four years of studying German at Big Walnut, I took Otterbein College's German Placemnt test.  I placed out of Otterbein's foreign language requirement and into the highest level of German offered. Not bad."
Wolfgang Bradley, BWHS Class of 2003
Otterbein College

"I have 20 credit hours of German, and I only had to take one class!  Pass this along to the kids in your classes!  I started out my college 'career' with credit for 3 classes I never had to take, which needless to say ROCKS!"
Sara Witter, BWHS Class of 2000
The Ohio State University

"I tested into German 212, second semester sophomore German, and I got credit for the first semester sophomore German I placed out of.  I'm not taking German 307... so, all I need now is two more credits for a minor - I'm really excited."
Mary Evans, BWHS Class of 2000
DePauw University, Indiana

"If a student has taken the AP test they go by that grade.  I received 25 credit hours for a '4'. I was pleased."
Colin Vent, BWHS Class of 2000
The Ohio State University

"I was the only person with just three years of pre-college German to go directly into the the 254 class."
Dan Strohl, BWHS Class of 1997
Ohio Wesleyan

"This fall I tested into/was placed in German 311.  I am now in German 331, and I should be finished with my minor by the end of my sophomore year."
Emily Walton, BWHS Class of 2000
