UCLA AP Credit

I want to transfer to UCLA in the FALL of 2017 as a Political Science major and I had a question about how my AP Credits will count. I passed the AP AB Calculus exam and I received a 3 on the exam. Do I still need to take a mathematics class to satisfy the UC transfer requirement of taking one math course before transferring or does my 3 on the AP AB Calculus exam satisfy that requirement?

I’d imagine it would be enough.

since you want to xfer in Fall 2017 my guess is you are finishing up your 1st year at a CC right now. You should work with your xfer center to make sure you are on track. The UC system also sends its adcoms out to the CC campuses on a regular basis so you can set up meetings with them as well.
