Umich And APs - help

<li>I have a few questions about AP Courses. I have to pay for tests by this Friday, but don’t know if I should take them all. I’m tight on money so I only want to take the ones that I’ll get credit for and know I can pass.</li>
</ol>

<p>If I take the tests for all my AP classes, I’ll be taking:
AP Calculus BC, AP MacroEcon + the free microecon test, Ap Civics (US Government) + the free comparative gov test, AP Biology, AP English Lit</p>

<p>I found this page from the College of Engineering at Umich (my major is comp engineering) that details how much credit is given for AP Tests. <a href=“http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/prospective/undergraduate/admissions/apibtransfer.html[/url]”>http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/prospective/undergraduate/admissions/apibtransfer.html</a></p>

<p>But, does anyone have a link to the graduation requirements? I want to see what courses I need to pass to get my degree. I’m in AP Biology right now, but I don’t want to take the test if the credit at Umich for it doesn’t apply to my major or general education thus not helping me at all. That page says that give credit for the AP Bio test and it gives course credit for Biology 100 or 162 depending on how good one scores on the test, but are these courses even required? Seems to me that the AP Bio test would only benefit students going into a biology or med major.</p>

<li>Can not taking AP tests for the AP classes I’m in reverse my Umich admission later? And for schools besides Umich, if I listed that I was planning on taking a certain AP Test, can my admission get reversed for not taking it?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.</p>

<p>You should take the tests.</p>

<p>I decided to take all of them, but I'd still like to get answers to the questions if anyone knows.</p>

<p>Just take the ones you know for sure you'll get the score to get credit. I got into LSA, and all I need is a 3 on my ap comparative gov, us gov, biology to get credit and then a 4 on ap eng. Don't think ill get a 3 on ap german so im not gonna bother with that lol.</p>

<p>As with what relates to your major and ap tests, take them anyways cause there are "core" requirements at michigan. If you take the ap bio and get a 4 or w/e, maybe you can reduce your science class requirements. Not too sure though about what i said. Wheres Alexandre? lol</p>
