I don’t normally post these kinds of statements because I feel that every situation is unique but this is pretty straight forward so I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.
1.yes, most upper tiers don’t allow you to skip intros in your major or at all
2. I’m pretty sure you have to cancel your score so it doesn’t show up on the report. that costs money and requires a form. I’m not one hundred percent sure though
3.I have no idea but the only intro I’m skipping out of is probably History and Bio(maybe calc but i probably didn’t get a 5). I would think that it would depend on strength of schedule just like in HS. If you skip a 100 for a 200 and do well in the upper class that would be seen as a positive. However, you don’t want to enter an upper level course unprepared and out of your depth. Your advisor should help you with that.
4. APs are much more rigorous and definitely carry more weight. SATII are achievement tests set for High School students while APs are designed for a College student. (SATIIs are very important to take for admissions though)
This is my knowledge and it is by no means gospel but I would like to help shed some light on the situation
