<p>Oberlin AP credit is listed at <a href=“http://new.oberlin.edu/office/registrar/ap-ib-credit/chart.dot”>http://new.oberlin.edu/office/registrar/ap-ib-credit/chart.dot</a> . Most other colleges have similar listings.</p>
<p>For any AP credit for which the college allows you to skip an introductory course, it would be a good idea to try the college’s old final exams for the course. Then you can see if you (a) know the material well (i.e. go ahead and skip), (b) know the material well with a few minor gaps (i.e. skip, but self-study the minor gaps), or (c) do not know the material well or have major gaps (i.e. retake the course if you will be taking more advanced courses for which this course is a prerequisite).</p>
