<p>At Berkeley, AP Physics C credit may not be that useful anyway – the Physics Department does not want physics majors to skip any physics courses with it (although they suggest taking the available honors physics courses), and the College of Engineering allows skipping only the first semester course with mechanics if you get a 5 on the mechanics portion of the AP Physics C test. The College of Engineering allows you to fulfill the first semester of chemistry with a score of 3 on the AP Chemistry test, but suggests that if your major requires the second semester chemistry course (which is true of engineering physics but not physics) that you may want to retake the first semester course.</p>
<p>Stanford allows AP Physics C to skip one quarter of physics for each section (mechanics or E&M) with scores of 4, but the Physics Department does not recommend the physics or engineering physics majors do so, but suggests a more rigorous version of the freshman physics courses. Stanford allows skipping one or two quarters of chemistry with an AP Chemistry score of 5.</p>
