What is AP Credit exactly?

“AP’s can sometimes have a detrimental effect on one’s grades – if you skip some lower division courses in your major due to AP scores, you are more likely to forget some key concepts and then struggle later in other courses on same subject”

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well. I have a tendancy to forget things, even APs that I got a 5 on last year. Skipping over may seemingly make my life easier, but like you said, in actuality, I’ll be stressed out dealing with the more advanced class, struggling to recall what I’ve learned in the past and etc.

Because, I do plan on going to a graduate school, I’ll probably end up taking the lower division classes (it’ll be a good review too) to have a more completed transcript. I don’t mind taking a few extra classes if they are going to help in the long run. So thank you both for your advice and help.

What would you guys do if they did take the credit though. hehe
