L&S 7 Course Breadth Physical Science Req.

[skateridden]

<p>The L&S advising website states that AP exams can not be used to fulfill breadth requirements, but that "Advanced level Chemistry or Physics exams will satisfy the Physical Science breadth requirement."</p>

<p>Does this include AP Physics B? Seems like a stupid question, but a lot of departments do not give credit for Physics B, only Physics C due to C being calculus based. </p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>No, it specifically allows those specific GCE A-level exams (as used in UK and derived education systems) and disallows AP and IB exams.</p>

@L&S

The following cannot be applied to the Seven Course breadth:</p>

<pre><code>Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams can not be used to fulfill breadth requirements. An exception is the GCE (General Certificate of Education) exams. A score of A, B or C on the Advanced level Chemistry or Physics exams will satisfy the Physical Science breadth requirement.

</code></pre>

<p>That’s A-level exam, which is different from any of the AP and IB exams.</p>
