<p>okay so i was thinking if ut only gives credit and not grades toward ap courses , wouldn't it be better for example to take calculus again as freshman at ut so u would get an a and improve ur gpa?</p>
<p>Maybe if you really think you will need the boost for grad school. Otherwise no...waste of time and money.</p>
<p>i agree with flatxca. just work a little harder to make the A in the class you havent taken already.</p>
<p>with enough ap credits, u may just finish college early which'll save time and money!</p>
<p>Just to tell you guys. I called UT recently and they say that they'll just give you credit for the AP/IB exam, no grades.</p>
<p>If you are planning to go into math or sciences and engineering it is often a good idea to take the class again. College work is usually deeper and substantially harder than ap work - and you will need the foundation for still harder coursework to come. And don't count on an A! Lots of people are retaking the class!</p>
