<p>At my son’s school they have AP Govt for 1 semester and then AP Macro for the other semester. My son is planning on being a engineer. He took those 2 AP’s to get them out of the way BEFORE he goes to college in the fall. They fall under the general ed requirements at a lot of schools. He is not interested in being a Govt or Econ major.Assuming he did well on the AP tests he will get credit for them and we didn’t have to pay for tuition,fees or books!</p>
