<p>...or would they not because I wouldn't have had the lab. Actually, I'm doing advanced chemistry this year, so it's not purely self-studied, although it's without a lab because I'm also doing physics with a physics lab.</p>
<p>Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any idea how that would work. Thanks!</p>
<p>lol, if you get a 5 on the exam, you get the same credit that anyone else who got a 5 on the exam would get.</p>
<p>You will earn the credit, but you will not be able to skip the first-year of chemistry.</p>
<p>If you don’t mention it you probably can. I had the same thing happen with physics, I justself studied both parts of C, and even though for the real class they have to take 3 hours of class and 1 hour of lab, I didn’t mention it and got 4 hours for each test.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I really would like to skip 1st year chem in college, and I know I’d be capable of handling it… but I don’t want to bother with all the studying for the AP exam if it won’t get me out of anything. I’m home schooled, so possibly they’ll work with me on this sort of thing? lol, I suppose one can’t know for sure…</p>
<p>Different colleges have different policies. The same college can have different policies in different years. Only after you’re accepted and you have discussed the matter with the dean/department head will you know for sure.</p>
<p>the only thing the college looks at is the test score. They could careless how you studied for the exam, hence a good reason as to why you should just self-study as many APs as possible.</p>
<p>When you get to college the way you get credit for your scores is that you order a score printout from the college board and you just hand that to the admissions and records office. They then review the printout and give you credit based on their AP score policies. Make sure you review the AP score policy at the schools site. Some schools don’t accept certain exams or scores.</p>
