<p>I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer. If a graduate school requires certain courses, like intro calculus, will AP credit count if you got a high enough score to place out and did not retake the class in college?</p>
<p>Does your transcript say you placed out of Calc I on AP credit? If not, the grad school will have no way of knowing you took AP Calculus. (You can’t send them your AP scores.) Why not take the next course(s) in the sequence to prove that you placed out of Calc I? Multivariable calculus is probably a good idea anyway if you have to take calculus-based physics courses like EM, waves/optics, thermo, and physical chemistry.</p>
<p>Well it was more along the lines of “i hate calculus and will never take it again unless i have to for grad school”.</p>
<p>For me, AP courses showed on my transcript as “transfer” credits. There was no grade points earned for those classes, but it was clearly shown that I had completed them. Just check your transcript.</p>
<p>Yeah, check your transcript. For us, normal course numbers are in the 100s and above, but for AP Government for example, I have credit for “POLT 099 - Advanced Placement - 3 credits,” and X for the grade.</p>
<p>Don’t know if grad schools would love seeing that kind of credit.. if you need calculus in your field like economics, you’ll really need to go beyond introductory calculus to multivariable… so don’t bet on it that you’re done with calc.</p>
