AP Calc for Stern

<p>So i remember someone saying in one of these threads that Stern is no longer accepting AP calc credit anymore, so does that mean I should stop studying for that AP test and study on another subject, or are they still going to use AP test scores as placement tests?</p>

<p>they will give you credit for calc if you did well on the exam but you have to then take a higher level calc. you can't place out of calc. i'm not studying for bc exam</p>

<p>so basically it is pointless for me to study for the calc exam and better for me to fail so i have an easier time taking my calc requirement next year</p>

<p>thats my plan</p>

<p>so not only for stern, but for all other ap policy in nyu,</p>

<p>does that mean that if we ace the ap exam, we might end up in harder courses than intro because they can tbe used to fill requirement?</p>

<p>how bout when it comes to CAS with MAP?</p>

<p>if so, i am not studying because why take harder courses from the beginning by cramming for ap, when you are not as ready as taking the intro course!!</p>

<p>wait we need to find out for sure about this. Is this only for calc or all subjects and if this is for all schools. AP exams are in a week and a half so it would be good to find out what the case in the next few days so we all can plan our studying accordingly.</p>

For Stern, you will recieve no credit for any of the Calc, Econ, Stats, and Enlgish Language exams. I have no idea about CAS.</p>

<p>that really sucks, i guess its calc I next year. i wish i had taken a science AP</p>

<p>i don't quite understand, even though u don't get credits for stats, econs and calc, does a good score on the AP test means u get automatically placed into more advanced classes?</p>

<p>no, i'm pretty sure its your choice, they can't force you to take a more advanced class unless you are ready. i am taking bc rt now, but i will most probably start off again with calc I. its up to you. one thing is for sure though, you have to take a calc class</p>

<p>Here is some clarification:
a) You cannot use AP credit to be exempt from the math requirement at Stern
b) You can CHOOSE to take a higher level math course, with proof of completing Calc I or II, but this is not required. You can take the same class again, if you want to.</p>

<p>Well i just checked out that chart that you posted the link for and i'm gonna have 22 credits but they "strongly recommend" that you don't use more than 16, should I not bother taking the AP US test then since its only 4 credits?</p>

<p>Well, you can have 22 credits, but you don't actually have to use all of them. During orientation, they'll give you a form you can fill out to apply AP credits, and I would tell you to put ONLY the credits that will exempt you from a class. Otherwise, you're going to be eating into elective credits that you might want for a major or minor. You can always decide later on to apply more AP credits if you want.</p>
