<p>Most schools, when they give you the credit, do so by only giving you an S mark (or whatever they use to indicate a Pass), which does not impact your GPA.</p>
<p>For some subjects within those schools, they will sometimes give you GPA credit while giving you the course credit. For instance, my 4 on the AP Calculus AB exam translated into a course grade of A for their first-level calculus course when I enrolled at my university.</p>
<p>But the willingness of colleges to offer such GPA credit varies on a school-by-school basis and a course-by-course basis.</p>
