<p>According to UT's AP credit chart, I can get credit for "PHY 303K, 103M" by getting a 5 on my AP physics C mechanics exam. Just for clarification, that would earn me 4 credit hours, right? Or do lab courses not count as credit hours?</p>
<p>103M is a lab, so yes you get credit for the corresponding PHY 303K lab with a 5. FYI…all lab courses count as credit hours.</p>
<p>Cool! Thank you! I also have another question: if I get a 5 on my AP calculus BC exam, I would get credit for M 408K and M 408L. One of the required courses for a BS in computer science is M 408C, which to my understanding is equivalent to M 408K and M 408L. Would I still have to take M 408C even if I got credit for K and L?</p>
<p>M 408C + M 408D = M 408K + M 408L + M 408M = M 408N + M 408S + M 408M

<p>About how many credit hours could someone claim with fives on about 14 tests? Is around 40-50 realistic?</p>
<p>So if I got credit for M 408K and M 408L, I could go straight into taking M 408D or M 408M?</p>
<p>@labeisoup Yeah that would get you around 40-50 hours. Maybe even more depending on which exams they are.</p>
<p>
Don’t do it. Claim only credits that are core requirements or introductory courses to your major without restrictions that they have to be taken on campus only.
You can claim credit/placement for AP test any time up to senior year. So you’d better wait and see what credits you really need and can use and what credits will be unnecessary and will even have financial consequences ($ 1000 tuition rebate will not be available).
Talk to your counselor first anyway.</p>
<p>
You get credit for M 408K + M 408L and go to M 408M if you get 5 on Calculus BC.
If M 408M is full and waitlisted or schedule is really inconvenient you still can take M 408D.
If you get 3 or 4 on AP Calculus BC test you can claim credit for M 408C and go to M 408D. You cannot take M 408M instead. If D class is full or schedule is inconvenient you probably can take a lower level class, it would be M 408S for C S (same as M 408L for non-CNS students)</p>
<p>What is C S course you are talking about?</p>
<p>Thank you Ya Ya! 
I was talking about courses that I would be required to take to earn a BS in CS.</p>

<p>The first digit in the course number is number of credit hours.
BIO 311C 3 credit hours
FR 601C 6 credit hours
M 408C 4 credit hours
LAT 506 5 credit hours</p>
<p>
So what course is it?
The only C S courses you can take the first semester are:
C S 312 INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING prerequisite score of 70 on the ALEKS placement examination (waived if you claim Calculus credit)
C S 313K LOGIC, SETS, AND FUNCTIONS prerequisite: Credit or registration for Mathematics 408C, 408K, or 408N
C S 314 DATA STRUCTURES prerequisite Computer Science 312 or 312H with a grade of at least C- (or AP test)
You don’t need any Math credit for any of these classes, you need to registered for a Math class (introductory Calculus) and only for C S 313K</p>

<p>I’m saying I would need to take a calculus sequence for the degree itself. I’m not saying I need the sequence for any particular course.</p>
