<p>So. I'm having a lot of trouble discerning the meaning of Penn's AP policy; I have looked at it plenty...I just don't know what it means haha.
so here's my question:</p>
<p>I already have 5's on chem and language and composition, and I could potentially take Calc BC, Stat, Lit and Comp, Art History, and Physics this year and do well on all of them (5's if i study). But I don't get it...Penn's website says they don't give credit out of classes, so is there really a point in spending the money to take these exams?</p>
<p>Are there specific ones out of those that would be useful to take? and which physics? (i could be prepared for any of them).</p>
<p>Can you post a link to the page you are looking at? When I look at the AP page at UPenn, it looks to me like you CAN get out of specific classes, depending on the exam and the department.</p>
<p>I’m in the college, and overall I took 9 AP exams, Physics C both Mechanics and E&M, Calc BC, Chem, English Lit and Language, Spanish Language, U.S. History, and European History. I got 5s on everything except for a 4 on Spanish. The only exams that gave credit for a class were the Physics C exams and Calc BC (having a 5 on Calc BC is probably the most useful credit to have). Everything else turned out to be an elective credit, except for Spanish for which I received no credit but fulfilled the language requirement (which is also very useful, except you can also do this with the SAT II). The Physics credit does not include labs, and since I’m planning to major in it I did not take the credit. It probably would be helpful for engineers to have it though since you wouldn’t have to take physics in freshman year (at least not the lecture).</p>
