AP scores that give credit

Hello! I have a question, if I got credit for a class by my AP test, does that mean I immediately replace that class with a higher level class or am I free to choose any class I want (depending on availibty of course) or even have a free spot in my schedule? Thanks in advance!

I believe it depends on the score you receive on certain AP tests, if you get a certain score then you can receive college credit for one or two classes.

I would check out the last page on this pdf to clarify, it would probably provide more info than I ever would lol.
