ap credit

<p>do you get credits for a 4 on the ap english literature exam, and if so how many credits are you given?</p>

<p><a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/adv_placement_intl_credentials.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/adv_placement_intl_credentials.pdf&lt;/a> all AP credit answers here pretty much.</p>

<p>You get out of one writing seminar (2 required, usually taken frosh year if you're not a transfer). I think you need a 5 if you're in AS, but in all other colleges a 4 will do. It's something like that.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that you need a 5 to get out of a freshman writing seminar regardless of your college. I know for Hotel you need a 5 and I've talked to several other frustrated people who just missed out by getting a 4.</p>

<p>i could have gotten it backwards somehow. It's a combination of 4 or 5, AS or all other colleges, and 1 or 2 seminars. :) Check the individual college pages if nobody here gives a difinitive answer.</p>

<p>i called CALS and they said u get 3 credits for it...just for any1 who is interested</p>

<p>3 credits=1 semester=1 writing seminar. So I think it's 4 gets you out of 1 seminar unless you're in CAS, where you need a 5. Can anybody confirm that?</p>

How these credits may be applied to first-year writing or other distribution requirements depends on which college you are enrolled in. All students who score “5,” except Architecture majors, may apply their three credits towards the writing requirement of their colleges. Of students who score “4,” only Agriculture & Life Sciences students and Industrial & Labor Relations students may apply three credits towards the writing requirement of their college.

So in my case I have 3 credits for my score of a 4, but I can't apply it to the writing seminar requirement. Bummer. :(</p>
