AP coursework to college

<p>How does AP courses like bio and physics compare to the ones we got to take as premed recs? And if I am in AP bio, and have a B... will my first year be the same course, in which case I would obviously get higher taking it a second time?</p>

<p>lol Intro bio at Cornell was way harder than BioAP at my HS.</p>

<p>yeah, my APs as a rule were a joke compared to the college equivalent, which is probably why more schools are starting to refuse to give AP credit all together.</p>

<p>same as the above two at my school.</p>

<p>im taking ap chem right now, if im going to take the class again next year, should i take the ap exam?</p>

<p>Is the exam free? In the county I live in, all AP exams are paid by the school board. That was the only way I was able to take 9 AP's.</p>

<p>No, they're around $80 each. Still well worth it. The college credits I received from my AP tests saved me a semester or two worth of college classes.</p>

<p>i thought it was better to take the class again in college ...?</p>

<p>Is there a way to tell colleges that you don't want the AP credit and you want to take that same class again?</p>

<p>I've never heard of a school that forces you to use the AP credit if you don't want to.</p>

<p>Some state schools do. They want to get you out of there ASAP.</p>

<p>UCLA forces you to use your math and english AP credit</p>
