<p>Any recommendations? People? :)</p>
<p>i heard that its not recommended.</p>
<p>As long as you’re not premed, it’s fine. I did it and have talked to upperclassmen who did, and it was never a problem.</p>
<p>Well I’m a bio major.</p>
<p>I heard that for like intro math classes, they teach you the stuff, but then test you on completely random stuff to “Weed” out the classes or so to speak. Some ppl on CC were recommending to use your AP Calc credit, so I was wondering if it was the same on bio</p>
<p>Uh, I think if you are a Bio major you need to take Bio in college. Bio in HS (even if its AP) barely skimmed the surface of what I did this year in Bio</p>
<p>you can AP out of the second semester of intro bio if you want if you do well in the first semester, but don’t AP out of both</p>
<p>just AP out of both. bio 101 and 102 in cornell = complete waste of time. the material learned in gen bio is a lot easier than the AP bio i took in HS. the only challenge is the way they word their questions on their exam to make it extremelly ambiguous sounding. You can do fine without them</p>
<p>if im in aem and i got a 5 on the ap bio test, i might as well take that credit right? Im not planning to ddo anything bio related and I would rather not take a single bio class…i didnt enjoy it too much…</p>
<p>arch major…got a 5 on ap bio…8 credits for me! :]</p>
<p>how hard are the intro classes?</p>
<p>so if ur in pre-med, you should take the intro courses? but then isnt that a waste of the $84 for the exam?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>it is if you had already been accepted into cornell…</p>
<p>I did it, but I’m a humanities major 
8 automatic credits FTW. If you’re a science major probably it’s not a good idea.</p>
<p>I’m premed so I’m not using any of my AP credit. I would get credit for my computer science class, but when I was there they said that if you got a good enough score on the AP test, then they will force you into a higher level class. I don’t wanna do that. Haha. And since it’s all or none when sending them, I’m just not gonna do it.</p>
<p>

<p>Is this true? I’m taking an AP test that I think I can get a 4 or 5 on. However, I still want to take that course at Cornell. Because that AP test pertains to my major, will they force me to take a higher level course rather than the intro course that I place out of from my score?</p>
<p>I believe so. I mean, that’s only if you submit your scores, but I’m not taking any chances. I don’t wanna get forced out of cal 1, bio, FWS, and computer programming and put into higher level ones. I’d rather use what I already know to do better in the intro class.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure it’s on the student who wants to use the credit or not, they don’t “force” you to take a class. I’m sending my scores, but I’m not using them, because I want to do the intro classes.</p>
<p>i’m still trying to decide whether to take the bio ap exam on monday or get my $50 refund. I dont want to advance to the higher levels and destroy my gpa if its too hard. should i just take the exam and move up or stay with the easier intro courses? </p>
<p>is it all that hard to just skip the intro courses?</p>
<p>you use the credit if you want to. Even if you get a 5, your not forced into taking a higher course. I hope not…</p>
<p>I took the regular bio course fall semester and I just finished the autotutorial. Both courses were annoying and made harder than need be in their own ways. If you already took 2 years of high school bio, I would recommend skipping intro bio.</p>
