<p>AP coordinator told me if the course is not listed on my transcript
i can't get credit for the AP exam I take. Is this true ???</p>
<p>You can still get college credit.</p>
<p>^yea, your coordinator is lying.</p>
<p>Yea, you wont get high school credit but you will get college credit.</p>
<p>Your counselor is wrong. Colleges give credit for AP exams. They don't care if you took the AP class or not. Maybe she just doesn't want to administer an extra exam for you.</p>
<p>If you self-study a AP course, it probably won't be on your transcript, and your counselor probably wasn't lying about that. You'll probably only get college credit, and that only depends on your AP score.</p>
<p>haha your counselor is wrong</p>
<p>If you're a senior, you obviously won't have evidence that you are taking the course for admissions purposes until after you take the exam, and in that respect, it might be hard to use it as affirmative evidence of the rigors of your course schedule.</p>
<p>But any high school student can take the AP Exam, whether they study for it or not and whether they take the class for it or not. In fact, students who drop courses at my high school frequently still take the exam, because it's already paid for and the school makes it really difficult to get refunds.</p>
<p>I've taken AP exams for AP classes I haven't taken, and I they don't show up on your HS transcript, but I do have credit for them at college.</p>
