Does a 5 get accepted anywhere?

<p>I got my AP European History score today (5), and I was just wondering..would that score be accepted by ANY college. Obviously I would have to be admitted to the school first..but will anywhere take it?</p>

<p>Some schools don’t take credit for certain tests, but if they take it for your test, you can’t get much better than a 5:)</p>

<p>This is a really dumb question…</p>

<p>Any school that will give you course credit for that particular test would accept a 5, but you are probably asking whether all schools give course credit for that test.</p>

<p>I think that the answer is no.</p>

<p>You need to check the policies individually, and they aren’t always easy to find. Sometimes you get placement but no credit, sometimes you get nothing.</p>

<p>The more selective the college, the less likely they seem to be to award course credit by examination for much of anything.</p>

<p>Thank you for the quick responses! Good info to know. Except you pack. Also–is there any way to get a more detailed score? Is there a way to see your score on each section and such?</p>

<p>Not necessarily, for example Pomona College, which we visited recently, gives a maximum of 2 college class credits for APs, regardless of how many APs were taken in High School, even if the test scores are all 5s.</p>

<p>You could hack CB’s computer system.</p>

<p>Nope. Many top colleges either limit how much AP credit you can receive or do not accept credit at all for certain tests (such as Calc AB).</p>

<p>My D had 3 5s and 2 4s and Harvard gave her zero credit ,but she only had to take 1/2 a year of freshman English .</p>

<p>No. 5’s aren’t good enough.</p>

<p>If credit is given for that class then a 5 will get you credit anywhere except the very high ranking schools.</p>

<p>AP classes are designed so that most colleges give credit for a 3.</p>
