**UCLA Question**

<p>Hey, if I received an AP Bio score of let's say 3, and UCLA takes 3-5 for Bio, do they give the same credit? or just more credit for 3 and 5s. Should I try to take it again next year, since I was new to the format.</p>

<p>Earning a 3 is the same as earning a 5 in terms of credit. Do not retake it.</p>

<p>Okay, so how does a 3 differentiate from a 5 not in terms of credit? Thanks for th reply</p>

<p>There’s no difference. The only thing you can use (most) AP classes for is empty credits, so just passing will do!</p>

<p>Exceptions: Calc AB/BC can get you placement in math, 4/5s in lit/lang can exempt you from the Writing I (English Composition) requirement, and you can petition out of Chem 20A with a 4 or 5 in AP Chem if it’s required for your major and you don’t need to take chem classes beyond that.</p>

<p>Higher scores in foreign languages should give you something too if you’re planning on being in L&S. I think they have a foreign language requirement.</p>
