Does that mean that you also get the credit for AP right away?



I was answering this question.



You’re question is a bit enigmatic. Could you please elucidate for me what you mean by this? Do you mean the credit the college would grant you or what?

I LOL’ed at this sentence. Word of the day: grandiloquence.



This is basic info. I am wondering about taking online AP courses to improve my application, not to earn credit. I could care less about getting credit done before college. I just want to prove to colleges that I can handle college level work.



90% of applicants to schools who care about APs other than for credit are obviously able to handle college level work. The problem is it becomes a battle to stand out. There’s a thread on this: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/369861-self-studying-aps-improving-your-app-22.html

Here’s APs and admissions in a nutshell:

You are pretty much expected to take the most in your school and do very well in them. Self-studying is very helpful for those whose schools offer no APs. Otherwise, you are expected to take as many APs and/or Post-AP college classes at your school/local cc/university and self-studying is looked upon well and grants you credit that will allow you to start at a higher level or perhaps even get advanced placement.
