So, registration for the AP exams at my school is by next week (March 27th)! I had a couple of questions on whether taking these certain AP tests for the classes I’m in would be worth it for my particular major (Faculty of Science, Physics). Would these even translate into credit toward my major? I’m in the following AP classes:

AP Statistics

AP English IV

AP US Government

AP Macroeconomics

AP Calculus AB

AP Physics C

Would credit in AP English IV save me from taking any class (as I have already gotten a 4 on my AP English III test)? And do I even need to take US Government and Macroeconomics – are those required courses in my field? Also, would taking the Physics C and Calculus AB tests advance me in the courses within my faculty? Would it just be like moving up a grade within my major? I don’t plan on taking statistics.

Thanks for reading! Sorry for the billion questions, but unsure about the different things I’d need at McGill! Hope to gain more insight about what would be required of me in terms of AP credits!

Thanks again!
