<p>At my CC, I received credit for English 101 for my AP English Language score of 3. The UC website says this regarding Ucla and English AP credits: Either test: Score of 3 satisfies Entry-Level Writing requirement; score of 4 or 5 satisfies Entry-Level Writing requirement and earns credit for English Composition 3 (Writing 1).</p>
<p>I'm confused as to what this means for me. Do I have to take an English Composition course before transferring to UCLA? Will my admission be rescinded if I don't?</p>
<p>Ps. I wrote this on my phone. Sorry about any typos.</p>
<p>The same goes for me, but for the math requirement. I received a score of 3 on my AP stats test and am not sure if UCs will only count it as credits or as fulfilling the IGETC math requirement as well. Hopefully someone will have an answer for us!</p>

<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>There’s no way I would have been accepted if I couldn’t use that score to meet the English Comp. requirement right? I didn’t list any English course as PL/IP and clearly wrote in on the application how I planned to use the AP exam to meet said requirement.</p>
<p>I can help, as I was able to actually benefit from the distinction between scoring a 3 and a 4/5. A 3 means you can use the credit as units toward certain portions of IGETC as well as the 60-unit minimum, but it cannot be used to clear major prerequisites out of the way when it specifies like in your case that you need at least a 4; I don’t know if every major requires at least a 4 to count the AP score as prerequisite credit so don’t assume this applies to everything.</p>
<p>To use my case as an example (this pertains to UCLA), I got a 3 on AP Psych. I used it for one of the IGETC sections, however I could not use it to cover the introductory psych prereq for my major. Had I scored a 4 or 5 though, it would have taken care of it. Where I benefited from this was that I’m actually in an introductory psych class right now, as regardless of what I scored Berkeley doesn’t count AP scores to clear prereqs for my major, so I had no choice but to repeat the material. Both units from the AP score and the class I’m currently taking will transfer over. If UCLA only took one or the other, I would’ve been under the minimum 60 units, so I assure you this is how it works. My case may have been the only time scoring a 3 was better than a 4 or 5 - I dodged a bullet, and was admitted into both UCLA and Berkeley.</p>
<p>So for your case, you can use your AP score of 3 as general units, but must satisfy your required course by taking it at your community college. I’d take it as an opportunity to take an easy class and not be bummed about it. You’re lucky I saw this thread, even the counselors at my school didn’t know how it would pan out with the two psych units overlapping in content.</p>
<p>I spoke to someone at admissions at UCLA and they told me that as long as the CC is giving me credit for the English Comp. class I wouldn’t have to go back and take it. I still feel extremely paranoid about this haha. Is anyone else here meeting their English Comp requirement with an AP score of just 3?</p>
<p>For schools like UCLA and UCB you should be repeating the course. They generally won’t accept scores lower than a 4 anyways. Best thing to do is to call their admissions office, they will give you the right answer.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I meant when I said I spoke to someone at admissions. I called. Perhaps I should call again?</p>
<p>A 3 or even 4 takes care of one semester, you need to take the 2nd semester of english regardless.</p>
<p>My bad, I initially viewed this thread on my phone so I didn’t entirely get what you were asking (I thought you were an English major or something in a similar pinch as I was with my psych class).</p>
<p>I’ll be using a 3 on the AP English Language and Composition test for part of the English IGETC requirement. The “English Communication” area has two parts, and the 3 will be used in the first part. I took an English composition class at my community college to satisfy the second part. </p>
<p>I don’t really understand the confusion now that I’m reading it on my desktop. It seems more like you know what it says, but you don’t want to accept it. You’re missing “English Composition 3 (Writing 1)” articulation if you didn’t take a course to satisfy it.</p>
<p>Wait. Now I’m even more confused. The English Communication has two parts, Composition and Critical Thinking. You mean to say that you took a Critical Thinking class to satisfy the second part right?</p>
<p>This is probably just a matter of differences in names from school to school. </p>
<p>Quite frankly I’m not even sure we’re on the same page yet, as the English requirements were so understandably clear to me when I needed to fulfill them that I couldn’t have forced myself into confusion, and thus don’t even know enough about them to possibly provide you with adequate help. I have no idea what the hell you’re doing.</p>
<p>Edit: If I’m thinkin’ about what you’re thinkin’ about, you’re not satisfying a core area with just your AP score. I don’t understand how you can still be confused after directly contacting them, so I’m guessing my efforts are futile here and I should just stop.</p>
<p>So a 3 on an ap test will add towards the 60 unit req and satisfy parts of the IGETC as needed? As long as I don’t attempt to use it to satisfy major pre reqs, I’m good? But 4/5s would satisfy major pre-reqs? </p>
<p>I’m an english major and received a 4 on the ap lang exam and a 5 on the ap lit exam. But I’m still taking english 112. Is this right?</p>

<p>@TreDelta I think you referring to the course you took to satisfy the second part of the English Communications area as a “composition” course confused me. It seems to me that we’re doing the same thing. Meeting the first English requirement with an AP score of 3, and the other with an actual course.</p>
