AP scores confusion

So, here’s how it works:

You go to CalSO, and an extremely socialable CalSO counselor, who is an older student, leads your group thru the program and gives you all the advice.

Then, at one point during CalSO, you will be prompted to register for up to 10.5 units of classes on TeleBears. Exactly what you decide to register for is actually your choice. Prereqs aren’t strictly checked, and the course schedules can always be modified later.

For example, I signed up for MATH55 and then petitioned for 53/54 credit sometime in late-October.

So, if you’re quite confident that you got a 5 on AP Calculus BC, just go ahead and register for MATH53. This isn’t high school, where you live under the wrath of your counselor.
