<p>like if i get 4 and 5’s on 10 ap tests can i skip a whole year of year haha</p>
<p>just because that might cost les…</p>
<p>everything depends on the college/university u go to.
state schools are more generous w/creds while private/tier 1 schools aren’t
for example, i currently attend a state school.
(most schools will give you 3 cred hrs per passed ap… assuming u got the score they want; some classes will grant you more i.e. 4 on aphug is 4 cred hrs, 5 on apush is 6 cred hrs, 5 on ap french is 8 cred hrs, etc.)
but at all schools, 15 cred hrs is average per semester so 30 credit hours for fall & spring is average. </p>
<p>i got four 3’s, four 4’s & four 5’s. that got me 46 cred hrs. and took 15 cred hrs this past semester. i began as a second semester sophomore & i’ll be starting the spring semester as a first year student but also as a junior in college.</p>
<p>At top schools, you generally don’t get any significant credit. For example, I took Calc BC, Chemistry, Both Physic C exams, English Literature and English Language, US History, European History, and Spanish. I received 5s on all of them except for a 4 in Spanish. My school works in credit units and only gives credits for 5s, so I got one credit for math (went on to multivariable), two elective credits for history, two elective credits for english, two credits for physics lecture (not the labs), I did not get credit for Spanish but I fulfilled the language requirement, and elective credit for chemistry. However, electives do not fulfill any major or general requirements, so to place out of the first semester of gen chem, I had to take a department exam (this credit replaces my AP credit). Also, because I chose to take honors physics, the class will replace my AP credits. Considering this, in the long run, the only scores that were of real use were my Spanish and math scores. The rest were essentially useless.</p>
