| Some AP exams are useful to have for placement into higher level courses, but I don't think Euro or English Lit are among them. They may be useful if you want to take a course which normally isn't open to freshman, but that depends on the professor and your interest. The English and History departments themselves don't have any set policy where a 5 on the exam will allow you to skip a certain course.
The more useful AP courses are in the sciences, math, and econ. They will all let you skip the basic intro courses if you do well on the exam. English and History don't have those sort of basic intro courses that everyone has to take.
So basically, do well on those AP exams for your own pride / to make your high school teachers look better, not because you think it might give you some benefit. |
