<p>So i got my AP scores back and I want to go to UTD. I found out that my 4 in AP Bio gives me credit for BIOL 2312 + 2112. But, a 5 gives me credit for BIOL 2311 + 2111,
BIOL 2312 + 2112,BIOL 2281. </p>

<p>What do these numbers mean? Are they separate classes, do more mean less classes to take in college? Also, it says that if you get a 3 you get 3 SCH free electives. What's this mean...</p>

<p>Sorry I'm so clueless :P</p>

<p>those are course numbers. A 4 in AP Bio gives you credit for Modern Biology I and its workshop. A 5 gives you credit in Modern Biology I and its workshop, Modern Biology II and its workshop, and Introductory Biology lab. </p>

<p>They just mean that you get credit for them, so you have less hours you need to take. 3 SCH hours mean 3 hours of electives. You need a certain number of free elective hours in order to graduate (I dont remember the exact number).</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>If you score higher than a 3, but the courses you get credit for don’t fulfill your major’s requirements, can you just use that course’s credit as elective credit?</p>

<p>yep. it’ll count towards your elective credit hours</p>
