<p>Does anyone know where these tests count for credit? On the AP Credit page, it says that these tests have no equivalent; so I can't find them in any of the AXLE categories. I feel like the APUSH test should count in History and Culture of the United States and I have no clue where WHAP would really fit in. I got 4s on both tests, and I would really like to get some requirements out of the way. Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>Sadly, they may not give credit for those. Does Vandy require a specific US history that they want everyone to take? Neither of the schools my Ds attend give history credit for World History…one gives nothing, other is just free elective.</p>
<p>My son is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, double majoring in economics and political science. He, too, made 4’s on APUSH and APWH. He is using those credits toward his hours for his undergraduate degree, which is better than nothing, which is exactly what he got for his 5 in AP Environmental Science. (He did use what he learned in that particular course to ace Oceanography, though, haha.) You may not use AP credits to fulfill AXLE requirements. He was very sad to learn that when he was a freshman since he so wanted to use his AP English credits to get rid of the W requirements. However, he really enjoyed his W classes with Beau Baca and Adam Meyer, which he took only because he had to!</p>
<p>Nope, my son is a rising senior. I even have my excessively expensive room for commencement 2013. I don’t know what I was thinking when I typed “junior”…</p>
<p>World is way too broad of a course to give credit for any course I think. Not sure why they choose not to give credit for US History. Anyways, yeah, all they count as is ambiguous “credit hours”, which won’t be useful until later, if even then.</p>
<p>As mentioned AP credit doesn’t count towards AXLE requirements anyway. Would kinda elliminate the point of AXLE (forcing students to get a liberal arts education).</p>
<p>If your major requires history courses, I think you can use the AP credits to fulfill that requirement.</p>
