Yeah, the math thing is for Universities. I don't need it to get into college, but I'm not certain about Uni, so I suppose I'll need someone from the US to clear that up for me...And yes, I also have to take the SATs to get in. I've taken the practice SAT tests which were easy, so hopefully the real ones will be the same.

I've gone to public school all my life and haven't been shot so far. Though I'll still keep the warning in mind o.o
Anyway, the highest level of math I've had is High School Algebra II. I have taken the AP tests for English and for US History. I think I passed them both (I'll have to go look again). So that means I don't have to take them in college? I'm also going to take another English AP test this year (which I guess is for the next level up of English? I don't know).
Lucky me that I happen to have a great interest in linguistics and teaching in a time when there's alot of Spanish-speaking immigrants coming over! :D Any language-related subject is good for me...Also science. But I am intimidated by actually pursuing any career in a scientific field (leaning toward biology) because it always seems so connected to math, which I am terrible at. Neuro-/cognitive science and marine biology are the two science subjects I am currently considering getting involved with in college, but my main plan/fallback is definately ESL so far. Sign Language interpreting is also an option for me, but I don't really know much about the actual job, other than most interpreters are freelance (I think)...
