My son from India, has written AP Math Calculus BC in May 2017 and got 4 out of 5. He is now going to join in one of the universities in Fall 2018. He wants to take AP Physics Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism exams in May 2018. Will that help him in using the scores for credits in his BS Computer Science course? March 18th or 20th is the last date for applying? Can someone throw light on this?
This is a school specific question. Search for the school name + AP Credit. It should give you a link to the schools AP credit policy.
Generally, yes. If he gets 5’s he could get credit for college classes. However, like @Eeyore123 said, look up what “AP Credits” on the website of the college he is going to. It also may depend what major he is taking. He may get credit, or he may be placed into the honors version of the class or perhaps the next in the sequence. It depends on the college.
OK. Thank you for the information.
OK. Thank you. When will the credits be adjusted? For example if a particular course is to be taken in 1st semester, if the child has AP credits already, then he need not take that course (and he shall get the credits too).Also will the tuition fee get reduced, for that semester?
No one can answer these questions unless they know the university.
OK. Thank you. I will look into university by university as suggested by @Eeyore123
