<p>I am a Pre-Political Science major and a new freshman at UCLA, who has received a "5" on the AP U.S. Government exam. Is AP credit applied as a general Polisci course or can I skip PS40 and take an upper division class instead? Any knowledge from current polisci majors would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>so is PS 40= AP U.S. government ?
the link says it is equivalent to POL SCI United States… but I don’t think there is actually a class called that… [POL</a> SCI Political Science Department Courses | UCLA | MyEdu](<a href=“http://www.myedu.com/UCLA-University-of-California-Los-Angeles/school/s/72/course/?dept_id=6861]POL”>http://www.myedu.com/UCLA-University-of-California-Los-Angeles/school/s/72/course/?dept_id=6861)</p>

<p>No, AP US Gov does not translate to POLI SCI 40. You just get 4.0 units for passing it.</p>

<p>PS40 is such an epic waste of time. It’s a joke of a class and you don’t learn anything new. Unfortunately, as people have already mentioned, AP will not get you out of it.</p>

<p>Two good things about that class are that you can use it as a) a no-sweat GPA booster and b) nap time.</p>

<p>+1. A mollusk could probably take this class and pass it.</p>
