<p>But, what does Carnegie Mellon do concerning AP tests/credits?
What can you skip if you have a 4/5? (Or can you skip anything?)</p>
<p>(Oh, and I'm mainly talking about the Mellon College of Science)</p>
<p>(There were way too many parenthetical expressions in this)</p>
<p>This should give you everything. Lots of things seem to take 5's to get credit. I am not quite sure what classes you get to pass out of if you just get AP _____ credit because there are not always corresponding classes. Hopefully someone who has already gone through getting AP credit can answer that for you. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>APs are lovely lovely things; the least useful credits are US History (only counts for me as random humanity credit) and English (still have to take an English class, but if you get a 5, you can take more advanced classes, like Shakespeare, instead of Interp and Arg, but I kind of liked my Interp class anyways). If you get credit for something, you <em>probably</em> can skip and go to the next class (like if you get 2 semesters of calc credit, you can take multivariate or diff eq), the exception being economics.</p>
<p>I'm a little confused. For AP Economics, for example...it says when you get a 4 or 5, you get credit for "73-012 AP Economics: Micro", What does this mean? Does it count as credit points to your degree, to help you graduate? So, in other words, you can't skip out of introductory economics, but it helps you to graduate?</p>
<p>Note: KrazyKow is in SCS; the AP credit-granting policy may be different from that of MCS.</p>
<p>There's a difference between placing out of a course and getting credit for it. Getting credit means you get units that count toward those you need for graduation. Placing out of course X means that you can take courses that have X as a prereq, but you don't get units.</p>
<p>So in other words when it says AP Economics: Micro you can take courses that have microeconomics as a prereq but you can not get units towards graduation?</p>
<p>Here's the engineering one: <a href="http://www.ece.cmu.edu/%7Eklarsen/registration/CITapcredit.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~klarsen/registration/CITapcredit.pdf</a></p>
<p>How come it says "units" in the far right column even for those where you just get AP credit if you don't get units towards graduation?</p>
