<p>I know the point of AP is advanced placement, but can college freshmen take AP exams to save money and time (for other courses)?</p>
<p>Cornell doesn't charge per class, so that wouldn't really make sense.</p>
<p>oh...i still don't understand, but that's okay. thanks~</p>
<p>I don't think collegeboard allows it.</p>
<p>Good question though! I've often wondered the same thing.</p>
<p>College freshmen can and do take AP tests. Says so on the CB website somewhere. And probably Cornell will give you credits for those you take while enrolled like those you did in HS.</p>
<p>CORNELL DOESN'T CHARGE PER CLASS?! are you lying...</p>
<p>I think this is what you're looking for:</p>
<p>ooh, that looks good! but I remember reading somewhere good colleges usually don't accept those...</p>
<p>Cornell accepts it. I checked.</p>
<p>As far as good colleges not accepting it?</p>
<p>I ran checks on what many consider some of the top colleges in the country:
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
Stanford
MIT
Penn
Brown
Dartmouth
Columbia
Williams
(and Cornell of course)</p>
<p>Of these, the following accept it:
Brown
Princeton
Cornell
Penn (but only a crappy school at Penn)
Columbia
Williams</p>
<p>Looking at those results, saying that "good" schools don't accept CLEP is somewhat of an uninformed generalization. Having said that, I would also posit that so-called "good" schools don't let you take CLEP credit all willy-nilly. I doubt it's necessarily easy to set up CLEP credit at any of these schools and I'm sure it's not encouraged.</p>

Ivy League and most other top schools don't charge per class, but rather per semester. I think it's far better to charge per semester - charging per class discourages students from taking the advantage of the curriculum available at their schools to the fullest.</p>
