<p>Way back when, I had two AP scores that gave me useful subject credit. One covered a peripheral requirement for my major (nothing else required it as a prerequisite), so it was an obvious choice to skip the course and take something else of interest in its place. The other was math, and I went on to more advanced math courses without any problem.</p>
<p>What I would suggest is making the decision on a course by course basis.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If the course that you can skip with AP credit is not a prerequisite for anything else you will take, then skip it and enjoy a free elective in its place.</p></li>
<li><p>If the course that you can skip with AP credit is a prerequisite for something else you will take, find the old final exams for the course that you can skip and try them. Base your decision on how well you know the material covered in the college’s course. If you know the material well, it is better to skip the course so that you can use the schedule space for something interesting instead of wasting time and tuition on something you know well. But if the college’s final exam shows large gaps in your knowledge, then you may want to retake the course.</p></li>
