<p>If you intend to major in Biology should you bother to take the AP test? If you get a 3, the UIUC website says you get credit for Integrative Biology 100. If you get a 4 or 5, you get credit for IB 150 and Molecular & Cellular Biology. Would it be better to take the classes or try to test out?</p>
<p>if you're really good at biology than take it so you don't have to waste your time wiht it in college. if you're a little rusty than you might want to skip it and take it in college so you can brush up a bit.</p>
<p>If you are majoring in it then they won't let you skip those courses for biology. So, there really is no point in wasting your $83 in my opinion. They may give you the "credits" but you'll still have to take those same classes. This is only if you are majoring in Bio though...</p>
<p>id still spend the $83 and get the credits, because there is a decent chance that you might want to switch majors out of biology, maybe to chemistry or kinesiology or community health or really anything. keep your options opened.</p>
<p>Actually, you don't have to take the classes even if you are majoring in Bio. A 4 or 5 will get you out of MCB 150 and IB 150. They still recommend that you take them, but it's not required.</p>
