<p>So... how does UIUC treat AP credits....</p>
<p>Say im going in for engineering (if that matters)</p>
<p>What happens if i get 5's or 4's on my AP Calc BC / AP Econ tests? they mean anything? or does everyone have to take the placement test and go from then anyways?</p>
<p>5 in Calculus BC = 8 credits for Calc I and II, take Calc III
4 or 5 in Micro = 3 credits for micro
4 or 5 in Macro = 3 credits for macro</p>
<p>so 4 in bc calc means nothing?</p>
<p>For engineering students, a 4 in Calc BC still gives you credit for Calc I and II, but they encourage you to retake Calc II.</p>
<p>A 3 in Calc BC with an AB subscore of 4 or 5 gives you 5 credits for Calc I.</p>
<p>How do you choose your classes before the AP scores are released? If the answer is to estimate, what if your estimates are wrong?</p>
<p>You estimate your grade and sign up for classes during summer orientation. If your estimate is wrong, you can change your schedule before classes start (and even up to a few weeks after that). I think you can get your scores by phone on July 1 for a small fee, so I would recommend doing that so you can change classes if necessary before they fill up.</p>
