<p>That site gives you the amount of units you get for the passing AP Scores.</p>
<p>Could someone help me understand what the "Students who duplicate AP credit with course work may have their AP credit deducted from their transcript." means? I'm a MCB major and on the website, the only courses that are displayed (That I took) are "AP Biology (score of 4 or 5 ONLY) = Biology 1A, Biology 1B" I got a 3 on the AP Biology test... does that mean I don't get the 5.3 units? Also, I got 3's on AP Physics and AP English Lit/Comp tests... Do i get 5.3 units for those as well? Thanks</p>
<p>I think it means that if say for example, you passed the Physics B AP test and got 5.3 units for that-- then if you took a course at berkeley that corresponds to physics B, then you would not recieve additional units for taking that class.</p>
<p>if you scored a 5 on calc ab, then took math 1a, you wouldnt recieve units for BOTH.</p>
<p>someone correct me if im wrong, but that seems like the logical interpretation of the statement.</p>
<p>^^ Yes, that seems logical. But, does that mean that if Public Health major requires 2 semesters of math, and I got a 3 on AP Calc AB, and I jump right into 16B and take only that math course, I will have credit for 2 sems of math?</p>
<p>AHHH This is confusing. I just e-mail an advisor at the College of Letters and Science. Does anyone know the site with the AP/Berkeley course equivalencies?</p>
<p>APs dont get you units...they just give u class credit so u can take the next class in the series. like for example u can skip math 1a and go straight to math 1b, but u dont get 4 units for math 1a.</p>
<p>Yes, AP scores give you units. You need 120 units to graduate, so at the end if you are short a few units you don't need to take another class because the AP units fill that in.</p>
<p>If the Public Health major requires 2 semesters of math, and I got a 3 on AP Calc AB, and I jump right into 16B and take only that math course, I will have credit for 2 sems of math?</p>
<p>For clarification, is there a cap on these units that can be used torwards graduation? It seems like i'll have about 20 units. I know there are kids out there who took every AP Exam known to man and passed it...couldn't they theoretically have upwards of 50-60 units?!? seems a bit ridiculous.</p>
<p>Key points:
"AP credit earned before entering the College does not count toward maximum unit limitations, either for selection of a major or for graduation, unless the student so desires. "
"AP credit may not be used to fulfill the seven-course breadth requirement. "</p>
<p>sasmvp--even if they did have 50 units...they still need 13 units/sem...so, I guess they would just have lots of extra units, but they stil need enough classes each semester to remain full time studens and fulfill all major and breadth reqs.</p>
<p>Right, but since you are paying the same amount of tuition no matter how many units you take, even if you come in with a lot of ap units, you should still take some random courses (even as pass/no pass) just to get your money's worth :p</p>
<p>Okay, So since i got a 3 on AP biology, I get 5.3 units. But i'm going to be taking Bio 1A sophomore year... the 5.3 units basically just disappear and are replaced with the 4 units from Bio1A? Is this the same for Physics and English? B/c I have to take general physics and I got a 3 on Physics B...So i lose the 5.3 units for that as well? Sorry.. i'm a little confused.</p>
