<li><p>I heard CoE gives credits to many if not all AP exams. <--true?</p></li>
<li><p>So let's say I got 5 on all of my AP exams. (I hope) Calc AB, Calc BC, Physics B, Chemistry, Comp Sci A. Can I just skip those courses in university? Or do I still have to take them again?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance for replying.</p>
<p>You need a 5 on Calc BC to skip Math 1A and 1B, and I believe a 4 or 5 on Chemistry will satisfy your general science elective. Physics B doesn’t count for anything unless you take both versions of it since you need both Thermo and E&M, and Comp Sci A covers like the first week of class and doesn’t get you anything.</p>

<li><p>Most, yep.</p></li>
<li><p>5 on Calc BC gets you out of Math 1A/B, Physics B nothing, CS A nothing (I think AB can get you out of something though), and Chemistry can get you out of Chem 1A. You can get credit for 3’s but to get out, you usually need a 5.</p></li>

<p>is there any placement tests where I can get out of the physics class? I didn’t get around to study both of Physics C. I will probably do that during the summer time though.</p>
<p>Actually I lied. Physics C (Mechanics) will get you out of Physics 7A here, and Physics C (E&M) + a community college course in thermodynamics would let you petition to skip Physics 7B. Of course you can also use community college courses in place of APs but you need to make sure they transfer according to assist.org.</p>
<p>There are no placement tests here, but you’re free to enroll in a class and just take the midterms and final. You’d likely get a horrible grade if you do that though.</p>
<p>Read from page 11 on of <a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/Undergraduate%20Handbook%202009-10.pdf[/url]”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/Undergraduate%20Handbook%202009-10.pdf</a> it tells you basically everything</p>
<p>5 Soj’s for your colossus of evisceration, 300% right?</p>
<p>Unless you are very good at physics, it’s not a good idea to skip out of 7a-b.</p>
<p>Here is the handbook that specifically deals with this: [Undergraduate</a> Handbook — UC Berkeley College of Engineering](<a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/advising07-08.pdf/view]Undergraduate”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/advising07-08.pdf/view)</p>
<p>I’m using Calc BC and Physics C to test out of the Math 1A/1B and Physics 7A courses.</p>
<p>I’m sort of glad that E&M (even with a 5) doesn’t count for Physics 7B, because I can be really prepared for it and take it over the summer (assuming I’ve learned at least some of the material albeit at a lower level).</p>
<p>I do know that some tests will give you credits. I believe if you take AP Micro/Macro economics then that counts for one lower division humanities course. Then you can link that with an upper division Econ course to satisfy the series requirement (2 courses in one series, at least one higher level).</p>
