Which AP exams should I take? [CS major / international]

Bama requires this:

My question here is, what exactly is “semester hour”? Is it the same as “credit” mentioned here: https://catalog.ua.edu/undergraduate/about/academic-regulations/policies/credit-by-examination/

Most AP courses earn 4 credits each. AP Calculus BC will take care of MATH 125 and MATH 126 for a total of 8 credits. One of the AP Physics exams will give me 4 credits. This should total 12 credits. Is that the same as 12 “semester hours”? If so, I will not need to take AP Chemistry.

Not sure about the lab requirements tho.
