My DS took AP Physics (probably the equiv to Physics I) and AP Calc BC. Received 5 on both. He is a MechEng major. His AP Physics score counted for PH 101 & PH 102. He is beginning with PH 125 Honors Physics w/Calc (PH 105 is non-honors equiv).

For Calculus, he felt very comfortable with the info learned in his AP class and went straight to Calc III. He just finished this class and got an A. You know your student best - many choose to repeat Calc I and/or II.

It sounds like for German, his current class would just be to maintain his proficiency, no advantage for additional credits.
