AP Credits - Do you have to use them?

drmambo: I definitely agree with you, which is why I’m asking this question. My AP tests that I’m taking this year are only non-major related (Macroeconomics , European history, Psychology, and English Literature). My AP chemistry class this year was a bit of a joke which is why I want to relearn everything, and AP Chem only covers nomenclature for organic chem. My AP Calc class was actually very rigorous so we went into hyperbolic trig functions quite a bit, just in case you wanted to know :P. However, I haven’t taken a math course all year so I definitely want to relearn the material.

So I here is my new question - if you automatically get the credit for your AP scores and you retake the course, are you retaking the course as an audit or for a grade, which will then erase your AP credit?

Also, I wanted to use some of my AP credits, but not all, which is why not sending them would be a problem for me.

I will eventually call the admissions office, especially since I sense some disagreement in this thread. I’m just too busy to wait for a call right now and also, being that McGill is an hour ahead and the office closes at 3 in my time, I don’t always have the opportunity to.

Anyways thanks for your help to get the information to me more conveniently!
