AP Credit. Strategy?

<p>so I don't really understand how the AP Credit works.</p>

<p>-Do we get no "code" (modes of inquiry, areas of knowledge) credit with AP credit? For example, if I used a bio AP for credit, I get no "NS" code credit?</p>

<p>-If I still have to fulfill the NS credit requirement, what is the point of using that bio AP for credit? I have at least 5 AP's I can get credit for, so how should I go about deciding which ones to use for credit? Does it not matter, since all they do is help you get to the 34credits requirement? Or is there some kind of strategy to picking which AP's to use?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>No, you don't get a T-Req code for APs.</p>

<p>It really doesn't matter slash you don't get a choice for what you use for credit. You just go in with 32 cc needed for graduation instead of 34 cc, so pretty much you don't have to overload for 2 semesters. </p>

<p>The point of having the AP Bio is to place you out of a class you potentially may not want to take...and you can find other alternatives to get, in your case, an NS credit. If you want to continue with biology, or some other subject, you can just skip the intro bio course (yet still have it there for later pre-req purposes), and get your NS elsewhere.</p>

<p>i think you can still use APs as PLACEMENT even if you don't chose to use them for CREDIT... anyone?</p>

<p>Yes. They can also count as "credit" of sorts when it comes to major requirements.</p>

<p>Think of it this way... you enter the registrar's office and show them your AP scores. They say to you, "Ok, you now need 32 credits to graduate. You can also place out of all of these classes. You must now fulfill this list of requirements."</p>

<p>just reiterating all of what was said above in one post.</p>
