AP Credit Questions..? Please help me!

<p>So, how does it work?
I'm planning to self-study AP Chemistry and take the test but the AP Chem teacher said something like
-If I'm going to a UC like UCLA, they wouldn't exempt me in taking chemistry in college, they want me to go through their program. Plus, it is also because I'll be majoring in Chemical Engineering.
-And is there a major change in the AP Chem test this year instead of the regular changes like other AP tests?</p>

<p>Is there any advantage to take the test like knowing it before hand or something but if that's the case then wouldn't I just NOT take it and just review over summer? I know I wouldn't have the AP Chem lab experience.</p>

<p>If I change my mind, can I cancel my registration for the test if I already paid for it? Are there additional charges?</p>

<p>Please Help! b/c it will be time consuming if the univ. will just ignore my test. (I'm fine if they ignore my other ap test b/c I took that ap course but in AP chem test, I will be reviewing on my own on top of the other AP's)</p>

<p>Thank you for reading</p>
