<p>blue,</p>
<p>I believe that the placement test are just that, placement and not credit. Placement being that you have a sufficient background to take this course or a higher level course (or in some cases a lower level course).</p>
<p>However, you could get math *** credit*** through the AP process by obtaining a score of 4 or 5 on AP Calc AB or AP Calc BC (this course will give you credit for math 3 and 8).</p>

<p>Now if you got math 3 credit through the AP process, I do think it would lower the overall number of courses you need to graduate. </p>
<p>Using your econ question as an example, if you got AP credit for math 3 and you need to substitute with Econ 10 inorder to fulfill the prereq for the major, I am quite sure the department chair woud be amenable to granting you permission.</p>
