<p>Can you get credit for AP tests taken while you're in college?</p>
<p>i've been wondering the same thing...</p>
<p>im not getting mine at Rice b/c Ut accepts a 3 and rice only accepts a 4. Also rice doesnt give credit by exam either</p>
<p>sorry.........I misread the question...my earlier reply doesnt answer it</p>
<p>I wonder why anyone would bother doing that, firstly. But I'm not here to question.</p>
<p>First, if the CollegeBoard would allow you to do this (which I find questionable; I mean, it is a high school test paired with a high school class to simulate college-level curriculum), yes, I believe a college would take it assuming you got a score that matches with their articulation of policy. That is, if the school says they accept 3, 4 or 5 for credit and you got a 3 or higher, sure.</p>
<p>Second, if you are considering this, reconsider. It would be far more advantageous for your application if you could prove you took and did well in an actual college-level course. Instead of AP English Literature, take Lit 1 or whatever the equivalent introductory course is. Even the CLEP would be a better idea (though few of the colleges spoken of on CC accept them). </p>
<p>Third, if this is about dual-enrollment or a similar program in which you're still enrolled in your high school but happen to be taking classes, it doesn't count. You'd still be taking AP exams in high school.</p>
<p>for me, i want to be a classics major (languages track), and since my community college doesnt offer latin or ancient greek....there is no way i could transfer in my junior year and finish the major requirements if i had to start at the elementary level. i've self-studied both languages for awhile now, and the only way i can think of to formally show that i'm competant (in latin at least) is to take an AP exam....a 4 or a 5 would probably place me right out of the elementary level so i would be able to start taking upper level courses right away...and maybe graduate without an extra semester or two.</p>
<p>For me, I am currently taking a semester off school, and looking for more things to do. I've been wanting to learn economics, and feel teaching myself may be the way to go. If I could use an online AP study guide to organize myself, why not?</p>
