AP Credits/Transfer Credit Question

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I am attending UC Berkeley in the Fall, and I have some questions regarding AP testing and college transfer credits. Last summer, I took a English 1A Couse at my local Junior College. It was a 4 credit course. Because I have taken the English 1A class, is it necessary that I take the Language and Composition AP test? Are the credits redundant?</p>

<p>I have a vague idea that some majors require more years of English than others, but because I am planning on majoring in Chemistry in the College of Letters and Science, it seems to me as if taking the Language and Composition AP test after taking a English 1A course is redundant.</p>

<p>Is there a chance that I get recinded if I do not take this AP test? On my original UC application, I had stated that I had planned to take the AP Language and Composition test.</p>

<p>With a 4 or 5 on the AP test, you can waive at least part two of the Reading and Comprehension requirement of the college of L&S. It is a clear and defined path, whereas attempting to use prior college courses will be harder.</p>

<p>make sure that 1a course is equivalent to the R&C A/B requirement by checking the assist.org. ive heard of people not taking some of their AP classes, but ask the admissions office.</p>

<p>I don’t think the credits will be redundant, in that you will get “credit” for both sets of credits. However, in fulfilling the first have of the English Composition requirement, it will be redundant. If you took the course at a california community college, and the course is declared as equivalent to English 1A, getting proper credit should be no problem. Check assist.org as misterreach says.</p>

<p>hi i am going to be an entering freshman and had a quick question on Telebears etc::</p>

<p>so far, by calculating my credits standing according this site ([Advanced</a> Placement Examinations](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/ap.html]Advanced”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/ap.html)) I have a total of 26.5 credits, just from my junior year aps (i am yet to take my senior year aps)</p>

<p>what is the minimum credits required to be labeled a “sophomore standing” on telebears so that i can get early registration for classes?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>if someone can offer a scale (like x to y credits = sophomore, (y+1) to z credits = junior…) that will be better</p>
