<p>A confusing AP situation:
My daughter self-studied for an AP as a h.s. senior and was happy to earn a score of 4.
As a freshman at an LAC, this score was high enough for her to place into upper level classes in that subject.
She transferred to another LAC as a sophomore and continued to take upper level classes in that subject. At her new school, her major requires the introductory survey course in that subject, and the school only accept a 5 to place out of that course. So she will have to take the intro course as a senior, to fulfill the requirements for her major, although she has already completed the AP class at “4” level and several higher level classes in the subject.</p>
<p>It can get kind of crazy and confusing.</p>
