I don’t completely agree with halcyonheather’s statement. The AP credit can also (and in many cases, should) be used as a head start in your major. For example, I have Calculus BC credit, and I’m a math major…I would’ve seriously regretted taking single-variable calculus at MIT.

However, it’s usually a good idea to retake the corresponding class if you feel you have a weak background, or barely passed the AP test (e.g. a score of 3).
