Maximum AP credits

<p>This is a bit of a tangent but does anyone know for sure how the NU placement exams work?</p>

<p>I’m a bit confused on how advanced placement and credits work. If you score a sufficiently high score and certify for a higher sequence course do you actually get ‘credit’ for the classes you skip, credits that can actually be counted towards the distro requirements, or do you simply skip the classes and take a higher course?</p>
