<p>I've gotten 4's and 5's on various AP tests. Which APs do Berkeley acknowledge and give credit towards?</p>
<p>i heard that they give u unit credit for all but some dont fulfill some GE ds</p>
<p>AP PE, I heard.</p>
<p>Depends on the college, I believe. College of Letters and Sciences has list of those that they accept on page 41 of the Earning Your Degree brochure

<p>They give credit for some requirements, such as foreign language, quant reasoning, R&C and amer hist/culture, but do not count against the seven breadth courses that are required by L&S. You need to have earned a 3 to get credit. For the R&C equivalency, higher scores are needed.</p>
<p>APs will always give you credits if you earn a 3 or better. A 4 or 5 on some of the tests will get you out of R1a/1b, QR, FL, and a few others. They won’t count for Breadth.</p>
<p>Check with your major department for details. Each department has different policies.</p>
<p>Arguably the most important AP tests are the English ones as they are the only ones that people actually use for skipping out of classes.</p>
<p>A 3 in either English test bails you out of College Writing R1A (though you still have to take another R&C-a course)
A 4 or 5 in English language or a 4 in English literature bails you out of R&C-a
A 5 in English literature bails you out of both halves of R&C</p>
<p>Your IB friends have it much better off though.</p>
<p>A simple 5 on A1 English HL gets you out of everything a 5 on English literature does
(Keep in mind the IB scale is out of 7 and you only need ~50% of the total marks to get a 5)</p>
<p>Can you pick and choose which AP credit to use? Or you must use them all?</p>
<p>They are all listed but if you take the class, then the credit of having passed it is ignored. The units are tracked separately and you can use them to add up to the 120 units for graduation, but limits like the maximum credits that can be taken ignore them. It is the best of both worlds - they are counted for minimums, ignored for maximums, can be used as prereqs to skip out of some classes but you can take the prereg class if you want in spite of having taken the AP class.</p>
<p>Sounds like a great deal. Thanks.</p>
