Hi,

where are you from?

I am from Germany and I also majored in English (translation) over there at the university. Now i took the placement test here, and i achieved a score of 119.9 out if a possible 120. So i am really not worried about it anymore. I dont know if you ever took the TOEFL or anything like it, but i personally think that the tests for non-native speakers seem to be harder than the ones for native speakers ;-) anyway, i do understand your worries, but i think you'll be just fine. The one thing i am slightly concerned about is the pronounciation of medical terms- i tend to pronounce everything "latin" and when its pronounced in English, it suddenly sounds completely different.... anyway, we can do it!! Good Luck to you!!

btw...what is REA090??

hi, WannaBeNurse! Thanks for the reply! I am from S. korea

I took the placement test as well and my english score was like.."94" which is a little bit lower to take English 121 (or 101) and REA 090 is a reading class. The instructor told me that It's mandatory to take those classes for me. yes! we can do it! Thank you so much! :) and again, Thanks for the advice

English is my second language, too. It's been challenging but so far I have done very well in all subjects. It just requires a little extra work at times. Hang in there and good luck ;)
