<p>Hey if we put on our app that we were taking certain test do we have to take those test. I m planning on taking all of the ones I put down except AP Eng Lit because I already took and passed AP Eng Lang. If I don't take it do I have to notify UCLA or should I just not worry about.</p>
<p>just take the test…you’ll thank me later when you have a better class standing for signing up for classes</p>
<p>I had that exact same problem last year.</p>
<p>I took AP Lit but I already got Credit for UCLA for AP Lang. I didn’t take the test and I didn’t report it and it was okay. You’ll be fine. Don’t take the test, it’s a waste of money.</p>
<p>But gatos is right. The more academic standing you have, the more priority you get when it comes to enrolling in classes.</p>
<p>If you don’t do it, is it almost a given it will take more than 4 years to graduate? That was the case for my niece, she did not have any AP credits as i recall, had difficulty getting a required class or two even as a senior, and it took an extra semester to graduate.</p>

<p>Academic standing, in a simpler way, is that you get the most units out of AP’s that you can. If your case was just like mine, we got 8 unit credits for LANG and the most you can get is 8 units for the all of the AP English. “English (8 unit max for both exams)”</p>
<p>The only point in taking the LIT test is if you got a 3 in LANG and you only got waiver off for Entry Writing (EW). Then I would suggest you to take the LIT to try to get waiver out of Writing 1 (W1) Which is English Comp 3 when you get to UCLA.</p>
<p>Entry Writing just means you have sufficient amount of English to get INTO ucla…i think or something along those lines</p>
<p>Writing 1 (Eng Comp 3) is proficient writing for UCLA</p>
<p>Writing 2 (In UCLA) Is what you have to complete in order to graduate for the College of Letters and Science. I think it’s like that with all the other colleges in ucla too.</p>
<p>Here’s the resources [AP</a> Credit - College of Letters and Science - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm]AP”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm)</p>
<p>so it wont help if I passed AP Eng Lang with a 4??? </p>
<p>The other thing I wanted to know was how much AP Credits will really help with graduating in less than 4 years… I ve heard that for my major, poly sci, it is doable, but I wanted to know if there are any current students who had passed through UCLA in 4 years or less with or without AP credit…</p>
<p>If you passed AP English Language with a 4, there isn’t really a point to taking the AP English Literature test in May.</p>
<p>If you passed AP Lang with a 4, you waive off the EW and the W1 so it would seem like a waste if you took the LIT test. I had the EXACT same position. I got a 4 and i didnt’ take the LIT and im fine and im a south campus (science) major.</p>
<p>You’re a north campus, and a poli sci…you’ll be fine in terms of graduating within four years with or without the AP credits. Trust me! I could’ve graduated in 4 years too if I didnt take any AP units and still be in a science major. You need to stop worrying and start worrying about the financial budget cuts and see if your family can financially afford UCLA with the budget cuts.</p>
