<p>I am pretty much going to duke next year, just need to visit first. I am taking a bunch of AP's this year and i checked the trinity requirements for AP credit and Physics B says no credit- consult department for placement options. Im wondering if anyone knows from personal experience if there's any point in me doing well on the physics exam if I dont get any credit- in other words, will the courses I have the option of taking next year differ depending on what I get on the AP?</p>
<p>I think it just means that you don't get an actual college credit (i.e. that counts towards grad requirements), but you do "get credit" (i.e. placement) based on your score.</p>
<p>Physics B actually doesn't count for anything here at all...no placement, no credit--nothing. So you don't really need to worry about studying for the AP exam.</p>
<p>The reason for this is that Duke does not offer non-calculus-based physics (many schools do for their pre-med students). Since physics B is not calc-based, it is not comparable to any courses here.</p>
<p>thanks fro the info- so, i have no reason to do well on this Ap if i am defintely going to duke right?</p>
<p>Have you already registered for the test? (I don't remember when that happens) Because when I was taking AP physics it was geared toward taking the B test (no calc-based physics at my high school) but when I looked very few colleges offered anything for it. So I took the C-test instead and Ap'd out of Physics 61 and 62. (studied one of those books on my own but that is all the prep I did other than the Calc-b oriented course I was in)</p>
<p>So if you can I'd recommend taking the C test.</p>
