<p>After she decides her college, she should check what it advises (including the major departments). If she is still not sure, she should try the old final exams for the courses that may be skipped to check her knowledge against what the college teaches in those courses.</p>

<p>Courses which are not prerequisites to anything else should generally be skipped if allowed. An exception may be if the AP credit would only give free elective credit units (instead of fulfilling subject requirements), and the school has a credit unit cap that includes AP credit units and the student is not intending to graduate early or use the additional credit units to take lighter course loads.</p>

<p>Pre-med is a special case – if one skips pre-med courses, one typically must take an equivalent number of more advanced courses in the same subject (paying attention to lab requirements as well). The college’s pre-med advising should be able to help.</p>
