<p>Last year, I got a 5 on the BC Calc AP. According to Dartmouth's "Credit and Placement based on College Board Advanced Placement Examinations" (<a href="http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Efrstyear/work/policies/AP%20Chart%202012%5B/url%5D">http://www.dartmouth.edu/~frstyear/work/policies/AP%20Chart%202012</a>) I would get "credit" for Math 3 and Math 8. Does this mean that I would only be required to take 33 classes instead of 35? Or does it mean I am just placed in Math 11?</p>
<p>well i was waiting for someone to respond to this too cause i wanna know for sure as well</p>
<p>but based on the fact that I hear that u save ur parents a lot of money by taking the ap tests and doing well, i would assume that both is true. 2 math credits which leave 33 along with being placed in math 11 but im not sure.</p>
<p>it means that you would be placed in MATH 11 and also receive two credits to count towards your final credit count at graduation (so you need at least 33 more before receiving your diploma).</p>
<p>How do my AP credits appear on transcript?
Are they going to be just math 3 and 8 or AP Cal AB and BC?
And my grades for those credits will be just “Pass” or A/B/C whatsoever?
Wanna know:)))))))</p>
<p>All coursework done before matriculation is listed on the first part of your transcript, under the heading ADV (all other sections are done by term, i.e. 09S for spring term of 2009.)</p>
<p>No grades are given and each course or placement test is followed by a column that says if you got credit or an exemption for the work done. Nothing is factored into your GPA, only the credits come over. Placement tests are given during your orientation week. </p>
<p>You save money only if you elect to graduate early. But be aware, to graduate early you need to fulfill all your major/minor requirements by the early date. My daughter came in with 5 credits and 2 exemptions, which is not unusual for Dartmouth students. 4 credits were from APs and 1 from a placement test. 1 exemption was from AP and the other from a placement test - so take the placement tests! She is not graduating early, but because she started off ahead of the game she has been able to have 2 minors and take more upper level courses in her major.</p>
<p>Math 11 is for AP students and is the equivalent of Math 13 for prerequisite purposes.</p>
<p>Sorry, not to hijack this thread, but I have a question: you said that placement tests are given during Orientation week. If I already qualify to receive credit according to the AP chart, do I still need to take the placement tests during Orientation?</p>
<p>How does UM give credit for AP exams taken? I checked their AP equivalency lists, but heard something about not getting credit if the AP class was needed to fulfill high school graduation requirements. Anyone know anything about this? Why would I have to take a Chemistry class over at UM if I got a 5 on AP Chemistry exam?</p>
<p>If you have a high enough AP score, you do NOT take a test at orientation.</p>
<p>whats the qualification for getting out of writing 5 this year?</p>
<p>One more question.
I know Dartmouth requires its students to take at least 3 PE classes.
How do they appear on transcript?</p>
<p>Are they ABC order or Pass/Fail?</p>
<p>Sorry that no one has answered this question, it’s finals week right now but let’s see if I can help you guys out.</p>
<p>pose716- I’m not really sure how they decide I think it has something to do with your score on the verbal section of the SAT here’s a site to look around for that info. [Writing</a> Courses: Placement and Enrollment Policies](<a href=“http://www.dartmouth.edu/~writing/courses/policies.shtml]Writing”>http://www.dartmouth.edu/~writing/courses/policies.shtml)</p>
<p>atssajhg- We do take 3 PE Classes. I haven’t taken one myself but everything appears on your transcript with ABC versus the median grade, but for PE I think everyone just passes or fails because you have to show up a certain amount of times.</p>
<p>Hope that helps…
~Questionable</p>
<p>As far as I can tell there are about 4 different responses Dartmouth has to AP scores:</p>
<p>Credit: you get a credit towards graduation, thereby reducing the minimum number of courses you have to take to graduate. You are also placed into any course that has this as a prerequisite. However, you cannot use this credit to satisfy distributional requirements.</p>
<p>Unspecified Credit: biology is an example of this. You get a credit towards graduation, but you get no placement. In the case of biology, you still must take the intro bio class, Bio 11. Again, doesn’t count towards distributional requirements.</p>
<p>Exemption: You get placement out of this course, but no credit for it. An example is language courses… my AP score placed me out of Spanish 3, but I didn’t get credit for Spanish 1, Spanish 2, or Spanish 3. I did, however, satisfy the language requirement in this way.</p>
<p>Nothing: Dartmouth doesn’t care about this AP exam. Cheer up! Maybe there’s a placement/credit test you can take during orientation!</p>
<p>Thank you. that is really helpful</p>
