<p>It is not a surprise when you look at what good universities accept AP credit for.</p>
<p>For example, UC Berkeley acceptance of AP credit for subject credit (as opposed to generic credit units) in the some of the tests named in the opinion:</p>
<p>Physics B: Nothing.
Physics C: Nothing for physics majors. 5 on mechanics for one semester for engineering majors (nothing for E&M). May be accepted for majors requiring “light” physics.
Chemistry: One semester of chemistry for majors other than chemistry or chemical engineering.
Computer Science A: Nothing.
Calculus AB: One semester of calculus, though the math department is not too confident in the ability of students with scores lower than a 5 to take second semester calculus.
Calculus BC: Two semester of calculus with a 5, one semester of calculus with a 3 or 4. However, the math department is not too confident in the ability of students with scores lower than a 5 to take more advanced math.
History (any): Nothing for history majors. Limited breadth fulfillment for engineering majors.
Economics: Introductory economics course if both micro and macro are passed with a 5 (for business major) or 4 (for economics major).
Statistics: Non-calculus-based statistics (but many majors which require statistics, including economics and business, require calculus-based statistics).</p>
