How useful are AP credits?

Hey,

I read over the credits that can given to certain AP tests as well as the ability to skip over a prereq for certain test scores. However, is there really any use in skipping, say, Biology 19 so I can take Biology 26L right away if I plan to be an econ major?

I already have a few 4/5s that I plan to use, and it says we can only get a certain amount of credit towards our degree requirement. With that said, is there any point in studying hard for a 4/5 in classes like Gov, Bio, English Lit if I’m going to major in economics?

Thanks
