Using AP credits to pass out of intro courses

I’d say definitely use the calc credit. As far as chemistry, it seems you’re fairly advanced so there really isn’t a need to retake gen chem. The only thing I would check is to see if med schools require you to take it (I believe CA med schools do).

I’ll actually be taking Honors Calc III next year too. My suitemate took it this past year, and he got As for both semesters. It’s a lot of work, I can’t stress that enough. The tests are all untimed take-homes, and I know he spent at least 20 hours on a couple of the them. The class was graded both on how well you scored and how well you improved, although I’m not sure if that will be the case next year since a different teacher is teaching it.
