<p>I'm not sure if my post is perfectly relevant to this category, but this forum category seems to be the closest match. </p>
<p>I recently got my senior year AP scores back, and the results were
a 5 in eng. lit
a 4 in bc calc
a 4 in Psychology</p>
<p>When I took the AP tests during my junior year, I received
a 5 in eng. lang
a 4 in biology
a 3 in calc ab</p>
<p>The college I will be attending this fall allows me to transfer 24 credits total, each usable AP score equalling four credits. I am able to use my literature, language, BC calculus, psychology, and biology scores. In other words, I don't need to take those classes. Still, I am considering the medical field as a possible career choice and am unsure if not taking any of these classes this year would be a good idea or not....</p>
<p>You didn’t get a 5 in either so you probably understand that you haven’t fully grasped every concept. However, if you believe your current knowledge is sufficient to get you through any calc based classes (many physics classes are, but bio not so much) then. don’t take calc.
If you end up going pre-med on a science track then you’ll be taking plenty of bio classes and an intro one will not do you much good. Again, this is as long as you still understand and remember the information that allowed you to score that 4. Many bio major intro bio classes (as opposed to non-bio major intro bio classes for students satisfying a curriculum requirement) have a lot more information than your typical high school (even AP) bio class. So if you don’t feel like you can pass an upper level class with your current knowledge, take the class.
If you’re a decent writer (according to your scores, you are) then bypass the English classes. Many are still about teaching basic writing styles and reading books you just don’t have time for in college. This, of course, only applies to intro English classes, classes taken for an English major are a lot more challenging and should not be taken just as a filler course.</p>
