Does anyone have a chart of all of the AP credits that U of C accepts.

Nevermind I found it, I didn't think this was the entire thing, because it made no mention of English.

English? Read the link you posted:

Quote:

Other§ 4 or 5 1 year elective credit

§ No credit is given for Computer Science A, Environmental Science, or Psychology.

Credit for no more than six electives may be gained by any combination of AP, placement, accreditation, IB, or other examinations.

So, you are limited in what you get.

In practice, it is even more complicated. AP credit becomes a function of major, orientation exam performance (mostly math), what courses you choose, etc. For instance, many science majors give up ap credits in chemistry and take honors frosh chem.

I read the others part, but I missed it the first time and that is what threw me.

I'm just ****ed off at the college board now, because it is going to cost me 500 dollars to take all of the tests and depending on where I go, they might be worthless.

You take AP tests for practice and as a learnign experience. Well, heh, I don't have to pay for them, my school district does and they get money when we pass them. Ahahaha, actually, you are pretty much paying your school by taking the APs since htey get money for every kid that passes.

I'm not about to pay $82 for a "learning experience". Three hours of bubbling in circles and writing BS essays. Woohooo
