<p>For example, if you have credits in some humanities section from AP Psych would your APUSH also give the same credit?</p>
<p>In general, if someone took 15 AP's, would all of them help in getting credits/reduce tuition or would there be a max like 8 AP's that are taken in account (or like the Psych vs APUSH thing earlier)</p>
<p>Thanks for clearing this up. The college sites depicting their own credit policy are not super informative.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh sorry, I mistaked this section for College Admissions</p>
<p>You’ll still get the credits but if you only need say 6 humanities credits and you got a 4 or 5 on APUSH, you wouldn’t need any more humanities credits and thus anything that would have fallen in that category doesn’t help you unless it’s a class that can potentially fall in different categories (i.e. some schools have a separate social science requirement, which psych would meet).</p>
<p>I’d say English and Biology were the most useful AP classes to me in terms of getting me out of requirements. I took 12 AP’s (my school didn’t offer any until junior year with the exception of AP Human Geography) so 15 wouldn’t have been feasible but still a lot of them didn’t really help me.</p>
<p>It really depends on the school. I know one of the schools I considered wouldn’t give you more than 30 hours of credit for AP’s, so if you took 15 AP’s, you definitely could NOT get credit for them all.</p>
<p>My university currently has so many general ed requirements that I have yet to meet someone who couldn’t use their AP credit in SOME way. At the very least, even if it’s just an elective course, it helps meet the minimum 120 hours needed to graduate.</p>
<p>You have to pay to take AP tests? Huh. At my school the county paid the fee- you had to pay it back if you didn’t show up but otherwise you didn’t have to pay anything.</p>
