Which AP's will save me the most money?

<p>I am taking the AP exams for French language and Calc AB, and I'm wondering which one I should focus on. I already took Euro, and I got a 4 on that exam which I'm hoping will save me a grand or two. I'm an LSPer for CAS and I don't really know how that factors in so any help would be great.</p>

<p>I would say focus on both. If you get a 4 or 5 on Calc, you’ll get out of the math/science reqt. There is some advantage to doing well on the lang., I would have to look it up. </p>

<p>If you have/or are taking a fourth AP, it might be worth it to take the test. 16 credits will allow you to transfer after 3 sem.</p>

<p>calc. the french department isn’t that bad here (my roommate likes it) so it won’t be as annoying to take french here if you don’t test out on the AP.</p>

<p>you won’t get out of much with AB calc</p>

<p>This wasn’t too hard to find. From the Admissions Forum:
"Secondly, here is where your AP credits will most likely be awarded, providing you score a 4 or 5:</p>

<p>AP Lit and Comp - Expressive Culture (liberal arts)
AP Spanish - Liberal Arts Elective
AP Calc BC - Math/PreCalc liberal arts)
AP Gov - Con West (liberal arts)
AP Psych - Liberal Arts Elective
AP Microecon - Liberal Arts Elective</p>

<p>Regardless of receiving a 4 or 5 on these exams, NYU will award you 4 credits per exam."</p>

<p>The above was in response to someone asking about the particular AP courses he took. NYU probably takes most.</p>

<p>You should probably call Admissions or the LSP Advising Center and see if they would award you the LSP math/science credit for the AB exam.</p>

<p>ouch, you’re right. i thought it was BC. . .</p>

</p>

<p>So wait…if you get like a 2 on the exam…?</p>

<p>missamericanpie, can you elaborate on the foreign language process? It looks like you need to be proficient enough to speak at the level of completion of second semester intermediate…</p>

<p>Wait, wait. I have an older sheet of equivalencies and it does give a certain course equivalent for Mathematics AB. So there will be some credit given. The OP needs to call and see if LSP will waive him the science/math reqt though…</p>

<p>Also, just found this too. CAS specifically.</p>

<p>The Quantitative Reasoning component can also be satisfied with approved AP credit or by completing an approved department course:</p>

<p>AP credit for Calculus (Mathematics AB or BC)</p>

<p>wait I went to the side and it says I get exemption for taking either AB or BC exams. From what the site said it seems like Calc is worth it so I think I’ll focus on that test.</p>

<p>The French placement exam is essentially an SATII. Just keep that in mind.</p>
