<p>I have a somewhat similar question to RedComet. Looking at the AP chart available at the link above, it says that more than 45 units of AP credit can appear on the transcript, but only 45 will count. If a test like Music Theory isn't listed on the chart, does that mean you can't get any credit at Stanford for it at all? I.e. it won't show up on your transcript, <em>and</em> you can't get credit for it?</p>

<p>Also, on a related note, can you still get the quarter units credit even if you choose <em>not</em> to place into a higher class? Hypothetical situation: You got a 5 on the Calc BC test, but instead of taking Math 51 you decide to take a lower math course. Can you still get the 10 quarter units of AP credit on your transcript?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
