Hey all, I am confused about AP credit regarding majors.

So I have viewed the website that lists how many units of credit each AP exam will get you ([AP Credit - College of Letters and Science - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditLS.htm)), but I am trying to understand if it counts towards actual courses.

So, for example, AP Comp Gov gets me 4.0 units in “Comparative Gov’t”–does that mean Poli Sci 50?

And if it does mean Poli Sci 50, will that count towards the Poli Sci major requirements?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I’m just trying to figure out whether I should take PS50R this fall.
