<p>I've been looking at Berkeley and I can't seem to understand how/where AP credits are applicable. I was thinking about majoring in economics and AP credits aren't counted in the prereqs or for the seven breadth requirements for LSA. I know that LSA counts them, I just don't understand where. Are there other majors that AP credits count more in?</p>
<p>Not sure. Deparmental advisors are good for this reason. Call the departments you're interested in.</p>

<p>For those that want to L and S policy.</p>
<p>There was a sentence in that site that I didn't understand.</p>
<p>"Note: Students who duplicate AP credit with course work may have their AP credit deducted from their transcript."</p>
<p>Eh? Does this imply that when we're applying to Grad school, our old AP scores are going to be on our transcripts? I doubt that, but I can't think of what else that would mean.</p>
<p>Also, if you are planning to re-take that course in college, is there any point in taking the AP test? It helps you get out of requirements, but if you end up taking that class anyway, does it do anything in the end?</p>
<p><em>needs to know how much to study for impending Calc/Stat/Chem tests</em></p>
<p>I think it means if you get credit for say, AP Calc, and take calc, they might not give you the units from AP Calc. That's what I think it means. Call and ask!</p>
<p>If you're planning on taking the course in college, there might be reasons to take the test- you might actually study for it, the knowledge might come in handy later, the experience might be beneficial, you won't gain that much and might lose a lot by not taking it (depending on the situation), ect. You might switch majors, you might end up in a different college, ect. Call and ask your likely college and major about your test, and then think about it.</p>
