<p>Whether or not to retake the course depends on how comfortable you feel with the material. For what it’s worth, I took all of my AP credit, which covered a handful of GE requirements and nearly all of my lower division prerequisites for my major. I was completely fine taking the higher level courses, and rather than speeding through college, it gave me the flexibility to slow down, to wait for the good professors, to take classes when they were offered at a better time for my schedule, to do things outside of class, and to take classes in different departments or extra upper div coursework. I still graduated in four years with a double major, and I was able to take classes that I was interested in different departments. I sat through some of the classes I skipped as a notetaker, and I’m glad I didn’t take them, just because I would have been bored stiff. I liked the flexibility that the AP credit gave me, but that choice is not for everyone.</p>
<p>The only time I’ve regretted taking the AP credit was when looking at graduate schools. Some graduate schools do not take AP credit, which is something to think about if you are considering going into a field where schools have prerequisite requirements.</p>
<p>Some schools also have placement tests, which is something you may want to consider taking. My school had online placement tests for different subjects that students could take to determine which class they should take.</p>
