<p>My older S, a current Freshman at UCD, took 7 AP classes which he passed with 4 and 5’s and got out of no classes including his GE’s and 1 for his major: Environmental Science (scored a 5). You will get credit for the classes in terms of units, he got 35 units coming in but he still has to take all the required GE’s and pre-requisites for his major. The units you get from the AP’s will give a earlier priority for registration but that is about it. As of Winter Quarter, he has Sophomore standing.<br>
My younger S will be attending SDSU this Fall and it looks like he will be able to by pass at least 2-3 classes due to his AP exams. The Cal States seem more generous on allowing you to skip classes.</p>
