<p>With AP scores coming out soon, I figured I'd make a post regarding them. To figure out what credits are accepted, it varies by which school you're enrolled in. For example, Physics B is NOT accepted if you are enrolled in the School of Engineering, but if you are in a different school you receive 8 credits worth of physics credit. Make sure to look up the list of accepted AP credits for your school. They are easily found on the school websites, but I have also linked a few here.</p>

<p>As to whether you should take the credit, I personally think you should take all AP credit you have available. If you're thinking that you should just not take the credit then retake the class to get an A, you're doing yourself a disservice. It is much better to be ahead in your classes so that in the event something unexpected happens, you don't fall behind. Also, you can get to more advanced classes earlier or have a less crowded schedule. Plus, I have seen too many people retake the class thinking they don't have to study or go and then getting a worse grade.</p>
<p>Specifically for engineers, AP English Lit or Language is a godsend. Either test gets you out of Expos, which is one of the more notorious freshman classes for difficulty and workload. I highly recommend taking the test. </p>
