AP Credit for Chicago

I'll be in the class of '15! Yay!

So I had a question for current students about whether my reasoning is correct in regards to AP credits.
I've taken: BC Calc (5), Stats (5), APUSH (5), Euro (5), Eng Lang (5), Physics Mech (5)
and will take Micro and Macro Econ this year (should be on track for 5s on those)

so since chicago has 42 credits:
BC Calc will place me out of, MATH 15100-15200
Stats will place me out of STAT 22000
and Physics Mech will place me out of PHYS 12100
and Between Euro and APUSH I get 6 'general elective credits',

so 10 credits in all it seems?

And if I try to take the placement test for econ to go into 2000 level econ first year do the APs give me credit for the macro and mircro classes along with the placement test, meaning i'd end up with a total of 12 credits then?


Input is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all those who reply in advance.

It looks to me like the Econ AP courses give elective credit, but there is a max of 6 elective credits by examination and you've already maxed out on that with other courses.
