<p>I got a 3 on the AP Biology exam and saw that on UCLA's website, they accept a 3,4,or 5 for 8 unassigned unit credits. Does that mean that getting a 3 gives me the exact benefits of the 5 or does a 5 get more units? Also, getting a 3, does that transfer as a C on my transcript in college and a 5 gets an A on their transcript? What's the difference between getting a 3 and a 5 at a college that accepts both? Thanks.</p>
<p>No…a grade is never assigned to an AP score…If the college gives credit for a 3,4,or 5…then you simply get credit. In the transcript it will say, </p>
<p>Biology 101 (whatever class the credit was for)- CREDIT </p>
<p>That’s it, no numerical grade get assigned unless you took that class at a college.
So, to answer your question, a 3 is the same as a 5; however, depending on the college, you might get more units of credit for a 5 than a 3.</p>
<p>BigWeight is absolutely right!</p>
<p>from the sounds of that, it must make no difference for UCLA, so good for you. hahaha.</p>
<p>thanks so much for the replies. so what does it mean by 8 unassigned unit credits? is that elective credits or credits towards the degree? sorry i’m kinda confused about this.</p>
<p>I imagine it is elective credits, because if they are unassigned they are not really given any specific credit. So ya, most likely just elective credit.</p>
<p>credit is credit period</p>
