Hi, I have a question regarding AP credits. I’m hoping to self-study AP chemistry this year, but I have been told by some people that some colleges require a lab notebook to give credit for AP courses (because outside of just the facts, students also need lab experience - which makes sense). On the collegeboard AP credit search, it says that getting a 4 or a 5 on the AP chemistry exam will give me the proper credits for certain intro classes at Cornell, but it doesn’t really elaborate on the requirements of a lab notebook. Is a lab notebook required? Do you have any personal experience with this (handing in a lab notebook when you signed up to skip certain intro level science classes, for example)? I have enrolled to the college of engineering.

Thanks.
