AP EXAM BASICS

REALITY CHECK:

NOT EVERY COLLEGE OFFERS CREDIT FOR QUALIFYING EXAM SCORES, AND SOME PROGRAMS WILL STILL REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE ALL CLASSES THAT ARE MAJOR-SPECIFIC, EVEN IF YOU RECEIVED AP CREDIT.

PRO TIP:

CHECK YOUR COLLEGE'S WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR AP CREDIT POLICY OR CALL THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE. KEEP A COPY OF THE POLICY UNTIL YOU'RE CERTAIN YOU'VE RECEIVED CREDIT FOR YOUR QUALIFYING AP EXAM SCORE.
