<p>Actually, my recommendation is to use the college’s old final exams to check your knowledge of the course that may be skipped, in order to make a more informed decision on whether to skip. Many students are well prepared and can skip with no problem, while others (particularly with scores less than 5 on the AP test) are less well prepared than what the college expects from someone who completed its own course.</p>
<p>Berkeley’s College of Engineering has similar advice with respect to math courses; sample Math 1A (calculus 1) and Math 1B (calculus 2) final exam problems are provided for students with AP calculus credit to check their knowledge before choosing a math course.</p>
