<p>Hi, I was just wondering if UCSC transfer credits specifically for Physics B because in this site, you definitely will get credits for it:</p>

<p>[University</a> of California - Santa Cruz](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/ap-credits/santa-cruz/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/ap-credits/santa-cruz/index.html)</p>

<p>According to this site however, you might get credits:</p>

<p>[Advanced</a> Placement & International Baccalaureate Test Scores | Undergraduate Advising | Jack Baskin School of Engineering | UC Santa Cruz](<a href=“Baskin School of Engineering – Baskin Engineering provides unique educational opportunities, world-class research with an eye to social responsibility and diversity.”>Baskin School of Engineering – Baskin Engineering provides unique educational opportunities, world-class research with an eye to social responsibility and diversity.)</p>

<p>“Note: Students may check with the office of Admissions for details on other AP and IBH examinations that also satisfy university requirements.”</p>

<p>So does anyone know the details?</p>

<p>Here is a pdf with AP credits and UCSC classes

<p>From what it looks like, getting even a 5 on the AP Physics Test would not mean you are exempt from taking any classes, but you get 8 units/(credits?) for passing the physics B test.</p>

<p>what’s the point of getting credits if it doesn’t come with a class, doesn’t that mean I have to take the same thing again either way?</p>
