Skipping freshman year

<p>I've heard that if you take four AP tests and pass them you can start college as a sophomore.</p>

<p>Logically this makes sense, but yet it doesn't. Must you pass one in each core subject?</p>

<p>How exactly would I go about trying to skip freshman year of college.</p>

<p>So far, starting my junior year right now, I've only taken the AP Psychology exam since I was allowed in the class a year early.</p>

<p>I received a 4, which gets credit pretty much anywhere.</p>

<p>I think that this is just for UVA, but in college since you take like 15 credits a semester (which is about 5 classes) if you take like 10 A.P.'s you skip a year. I think mainly it depends on how much credit they are willing to give. </p>

<p>So basically if you get 30 credits in total by checking on their A.P. credit website. To go to that website go to <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.collegeboard.com&lt;/a>, type in the school's name, and go to the A.P and Clep credit page.</p>

<p>It really depends upon the school. Some schools provide a full years worth of credit for a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Chemistry test, i.e. 6 or 8 credits. The state schools tend to be a bit more generous, i.e. UVa, UNC, etc.</p>
