<p>If a person takes about 14 AP classes in high school, and gets at least a "3" on each exam, would that allow him to graduate early, and if so, approximately how early.</p>
<p>I don’t think it will allow you to graduate early, but it will help you cut down some classes to save you more money. And some schools don’t even accept 3’s anymore. It could be 4’s or 5’s</p>
<p>You’ll get mostly elective credit. 3’s also NEVER waive actual courses you will need to take. 3’s will always give elective credit. 4’s and 5’s on SOME exams will let you pass out of a course.</p>
<p>AP credits won’t really allow you to graduate significantly early because there are very few courses that actually waive courses. You have many GE requirements, pre-major requirements, and major requirements.</p>
<p>3’s WILL help you get a higher class standing, enabling you to enroll in classes earlier, which is really helpful. =D</p>

<p>But does having 14 AP courses allow you to save tuition money at UCLA???</p>
<p>Tuition depends on how many quarters you take classes at UCLA (excluding summer courses, which tuition is based on units). Each quarter’s tuition is set regardless of the amount of units you take in that particular unit. </p>
<p>In general, you will not graduate earlier with that many AP courses compared to someone that took none (maybe one quarter earlier). The only classes I can think that you can pass out of off the top of my head are Chem 20A (4 or 5 in AP Chem), Math 31A (5 in AP Calc AB or 4 in AP Calc BC), Math 31B (5 in AP Calc BC), and Eng Comp 3 (3 in AP Lang/Lit, 720 or above in SAT Writing section, etc.).</p>
<p>You’ll save some money because you will have more space to take certain courses (or double major/minor) or you will have more opportunities to take lighter course loads during certain quarters, but it won’t be a significant amount of time saved.</p>
<p>Generally, AP credits help with class standing and enrollment priority times.</p>
