<p>Are there any courses that are required freshman year that I can get out of with AP? Is the a way to take a year off my collage experience with them at this collage?</p>
<p>Has anyone here done it?</p>
<p>What are you thinking of majoring in? The benefits of different AP tests vary based on your major reqs. In my experience the most important AP tests in general are:</p>
<ol>
<li>one of the English tests – get a 4 or 5 and you qualify out of Eng Comp 3</li>
<li>a language (not Spanish Lit) – getting a 3+ qualifies you out of the 1 year language req</li>
</ol>
<p>the rest depends on your major:
if your major requires calculus (econ, math, science, engineering) – take BC if possible because then you may be able to qualify out of 2 quarters of calculus</p>
<p>Course credit for AP tests is detailed here:

Anything that says “general” or “unassigned” means it doesn’t matter at all. </p>
<p>Sometimes getting AP credit can actually hurt you. Some people I know who took both Econ AP tests now can’t take Econ 1 and 2 to boost their Econ GPAs.</p>
