AP credits?

<p>Okay, I found this link here: <a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm&lt;/a> which outlines what is awarded for each AP credit. </p>

<p>Just double checking here, but if I already got a 4 on English Lang&Comp and a 3 on the US History, there is no point in taking the English Lit&Comp test and the US Gov test, correct? Also since no AP credit satisfies a GE requirement, AP credits are only useful if they satisfy a particular course of your major? Is that what that's saying? So would it be worthwhile to take the Statistics class and possibly satisfy the Quantitative Reasoning requirement?</p>

<p>Wait... so we don't get credit for APs anymore? (units). someone told me this today and I balked at it. If its true then I can just **** off and not worry about AP's in May.</p>

<p>They're free units. It lets you graduate early if you wanted to. It's also good towards putting you in sophomore standing.</p>

<p>No, they're at face value. You get whatever it says on that page. It's just that those aren't GE courses (Math 31A/B, Econ 1/2, etc.). The other stuff aren't equivalent to a course, so you have to take those courses in that category if required.</p>

<p>AP Foreign Language lets you fulfill the foreign language requirement. You should probably take AP Stats if you don't plan on doing any math here and didn't get acceptable scores for AP Calc or AP Comp Sci.</p>

<p>dont take the AP lit cuz it's max 8 units for english, which you've already achieved with AP lang. however, the case is not the same with AP govt so take that for unassigned units. it is also worthwhile to take the AP stats to satisfy the quant requirement, if you havent already through your SAT scores. </p>

<p>AP's are useful in that they provide at the bare minimum elective credit. as in, if your major + GE = 140 units, and you need 40 more elective units to take in order to reach the graduation minimum of 180 units, you can use your AP units to substitute for those 40.</p>
