<p>You need a 4 on both AP economics exams to be exempt from Economics 1 or 2.</p>
<p>You need a 3 on AP calculus AB or BC to be exempt from Math 16A or 1A, and a 5 on AP calculus BC to be exempt from Math 16A-16B or 1A-1B. However, if you wish to use AP calculus credit to place into a math course higher than Math 16A or 1A, you may want to review the old final exams for Math 16A or 1A (and Math 1B if you wish to take Math 53 or 54 using a 5 score on AP calculus BC).</p>
