To put this certificate in perspective, this is the equivalent of testing out of the first year of college level language classes.  The U of M gives a year of advanced standing to students who can demonstrate an Intermediate-Low level.   Many of these students have done this as 9^th graders, which is quite impressive.  The results are based on the STAMP test, which students took in class during May.
