if your ccc is on a semester system you simply add up all your units from your ccc (excluding any you may have received for AP courses), multiply that number by 1.5 (conversion from semester to quarter units) and then add the units you would receive at the respected UC for the AP score.

Example: i will have completed approximately 70 units at my ccc by the time i transfer. i also got a 5 on an AP exam back in high school. here’s how the math will work out:
70 units (at ccc) x 1.5 (conversion) + 4 units (AP credit) = 109 units

make sure you don’t add the AP credit that you ccc gives you when you count up your units. a friend of mine accidentally did that and was told by the UCLA and UCSD reps that she was off 0.5 units when she thought she had more than enough.
