<p>Would Rice accept credit from a self-studied AP test (assuming that it’s a 4 or 5 of course), or do you need to take the AP class as well in order to receive credit?</p>
<p>You definitely get credit from self-studied APs as long as you get the required score (I took AP French without taking the class and got credit for it).</p>
<p>However, make sure you clearly understand the AP credit distribution system, because often AP credit will not exempt you from certain requirements).</p>
<p>Took three self-studied, got fives, got credit.</p>
