<p>More credits for you:</p>

<p>If your SAT Writing Score was 600 or your ACT writing score was 26, you have credit for RHE 306.
If you took either math SAT II, you probably have 3 credits coming for 305, which I think is a geometry or trig course.
If you took the physics SAT II and you don’t need to take physics in college as part of your major, a 600 or higher on the SAT II will get you 8 credits.</p>

<p>Also, if you got A’s in honors chemistry but didn’t take the AP chem test, sign up to take the chemistry test during orientation. All you have to do is PASS it and you will get 3 credits for Chemistry 301. </p>

<p>That’s 17 credits without a AP. </p>

<p>Also, if you took a general econ class or macro econ or micro econ and didn’t take the AP test or only got a 3, it is worth stopping by a CLEP center (there is probably one near you) to see if you can get a 60 on a CLEP test to get credit for 304 K or 304 L. If my daughter doesn’t feel 100% confident she got a 4 on each of these two AP tests, I’ll talk her into taking CLEPs on them. CLEP tests are easy multiple choice tests - it’s like taking a computerized learner’s permit test.</p>
