<p>As far as I know, AP Chem is the only AP test where a score of 3 or above is acceptable. For most of the rest, a 5 is necessary.</p>
<p>To the above poster: yes, if you come into NU with 4 AP scores of 5 (or 3 in the case of AP Chem), and are awarded general/distro/major credit for them, you will need to complete fewer classes (i.e. 41 in Weinberg) to graduate- many seniors graduate after winter quarter because they came in with some AP credit.</p>
<p>You can only use up to 2 AP scores to fulfill a distro, and you can only use one AP in each of the distro areas (e.g. you can’t use 2 history APs to get out of your history requirement, etc).</p>
