"To expand on this above: \n\nThis term my class finishes in PAVC 4 Chapter 4 (out of 14). For my final, I needed a 65 to pass, an 85 if I wanted to skip to Chapter 10, and a 90 if I wanted to skip straight to Far East Book 3. I got an 87. I talked to my teacher after class the other day about what happens after I finish PAVC 4, and she said usually the teacher lets the students vote on whether they want to take Far East 3 or Mini Radio Plays. The number of students taking Far East 3 outnumbers those taking Radio Plays 3:1, so statistically, I'd probably be taking Far East III. \nI want to take Radio Plays though, and my teacher said she thinks there's no need for me to take Far East 3 since I already know most of the material in it anyway, and that I should be fine if I skip straight to Radio Plays instead of finishing PAVC 4. She actually thinks I'd be OK to skip both of those books and go straight to PAVC 5. I would be, but I want to work on my speaking and listening some more before I move onto the more 書面 stuff (which starts with PAVC 5). I've heard really great things about Radio Plays, and I've taken a look at it and it seems like a fun textbook (overly melodrammatic dramas complete with dead moms on Mothers' Day, husbands in car wrecks, \"bad-boy\" boyfriends getting arrested, etc.). A friend say he is now, at the end of the book, able to turn on the radio and understand pretty much everything because the book also teaches a lot of slang, and another person I know said he is able to follow university lectures really easily now from the listening skills he developed in that class (obviously this will also require a knowledge of the vocab in whichever field the lecture is in). \nAnyway, my teacher said I should go to the office and plead my case, asking them to let me skip to Radio Plays. I did, and they asked about my score on the test, whether I had looked at the book and if it seemed like I'd be OK. They're going to get in touch with my teacher to get her opinion, and then let me know if I can on Monday or Tuesday. I expect the answer will be yes from the way they talked about it. \nSo I guess the moral is, work hard, get a good grade on your final, and you can skip. Show off occasionally in class so your teacher has a high opinion of your ability, and you can skip further. But I'd only recommend it if you know your language ability really is up to the task. I've been studying extra textbooks on the side, both Modern and Classical Chinese, so I'm at that level now. Another girl in my class got about the same score I did but she's choosing not to skip at all because she's afraid she'll miss out on important stuff. So think about it before you charge ahead. 三思而行, right? \n\n"
