<p>Am I wasting my time taking AP classes in high school if I just want to go to a CCC and then transfer to a UC? Do AP classes serve any purpose whatsoever in this case?</p>

<p>Not really it actually makes cc easier…I took ap classes and it actually prepare me for college level work load and cc is alott easier now</p>

<p>And plus if u pass the ap exams u still get credit</p>

<p>AP scores of 3, 4 or 5 can fulfill certain pre-requisites and save you time. Also, you will be exempt from taking the mandatory placement test with passing scores in English and calculus.</p>

<p>I see. So do 3s, 4s and 5s on AP exams help complete IGETC as well?</p>

5

<p>Yes, it does. I got a 4 on AP Lang. and Lit. and skipped English 1. I also got a 4 on APUSH which completes a section in IGETC.</p>

<p>Awesome. But is credit given for AP classes dependent on which CCC you go to?</p>

7

<p>No, its all in a UC standard.</p>

8

<p>yea, you’ll be happier to register earlier once you transfer</p>

<p>APES counts for your lab science if your not a fan of labs. I was pretty happy when I found that out. The Labs are always at odd times of days and are hard to make work with a full time job.</p>

<p>how do we request the scores so we can show our CCC?</p>
