If you take AP US History and get a 5 on the AP Exam, you can choose to validate the plebe history here and thus go straight into DIRT. I highly recommend you take AP US if you think you can get a 5 on the exam.

Even if you don’t take AP Comp, you can validate plebe composition if you get a high verbal and writing SAT score alone and pass the validation test (basically you are given a topic and write an essay). When I say high I mean about 700 or higher. One of my company mates only scored 680 verbal but he was able to validate b/c he did well on the validation test.

Also, if you get a 4 or 5 on the Calc BC exam and do well on the validation exam here you can skip a semester of math and go straight into multivariable calculus. I highly recommend that because it opens up your schedule.
