Most colleges will let you pass out of a course if you receive a 4 or 5 on an AP exam. For example, I got a 4 on the calc AB exam and did not have to take 6 credits of calculus classes. On your DAS (degree audit summary which is basically a list of the classes you are required to take for your major) it should have something like “AP” where the grade should be. If not, talk it over with the registrar office at your school about their AP exemption policy.

If you test out of the course and do not decide to take it in college, then you do not pay tuition for that class. That would be like charging transfer students for the classes they took at the other college!

As far as I know there is no free lunch. What you’re saying is if I attend Harvard and take all the tests for my classes without taking the classes I can get a Harvard BA for free.

I don’t think it works that way.

YOu can take EVERY course by test at MIT, but I don’t think they’ll give you a BS in science without ever pay a course fee or tuitioin.

i’m at present enrolled in AP US background at my college, and the foremost transformations between that classification and US background Honors at my college, are, like reported above, that the AP prepares you specially for taking the AP try in could (with FRQs, DBQs), yet in addition that the AP strikes swifter than Honors (we are interpreting the 50s, they are interpreting the Eighteen Nineties now). i think of AP US is numerous artwork (to illustrate, the DBQ on the AP examination is meant to be 60% of your information on a topic and 40% synthesis from the information given to you –> there is numerous memorization in touch interior the classification). it truly is have been given severe reading, additionally. yet, from what i’ve got heard, faculties do no longer appreciate APs that lots anymore. additionally, GPA and grades remember lots to faculties. So i think of that an A in a universal or honors US background could look greater proper than a C in AP US background — yet that a B in AP US background could easily look greater proper than an A- or so in a universal or honors song. If I have been you, i could in simple terms take the AP and artwork truly puzzling at it. I even have the same classification schedule this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days (English, Spanish 3, PreCal Honors, Chemistry, AP US background, AP CS A) — and that i’m doing distinctly lots so a procedures.

I believe there is a fee for the exam. my son start in august and at storm day when he registered for classes that there was a fee for the exam.

As far as I know, I don’t pay for any classes I don’t sign up for. So if you don’t have to take it and you don’t have to sign up, you don’t pay for it.
