<p>If it’s a good score, they certainly aren’t going to penalize you for taking it. It will show early academic excellence. However, for placement purposes (for admitted students), they likely may not automatically grant advanced standing if the student wishes to use a 4+ year old test result. I would imagine in that circumstance, you’d personally petition/request advance standing to the Dept based on your record and probably offer to take a placement exam the first few days of the school year. </p>
<p>Plus, the individual departments vary. Some give advanced standing with 5s only. Some grant no advanced standing to the associated AP test.</p>
<p>If you’re still in HS, for admissions purposes, DEFINITELY provide that info as part of your application.</p>
