self-studying AP's

<p>If you receive a score of 5 on an AP test, without having taken the corresponding AP class (taking the exam by self-studying), can you still get credit for the course in college? I am planning to self study a lot of AP's and I want to know if it even helps your transcript.</p>

<p>Yeah, you can still get college credit even if you haven’t taken a formal class.</p>
