[quote=Anonymous]Yes, most colleges will only give credit for scores of 4 or 5 on the exam. Also, as someone else mentioned, many schools will only give credit for electives though some will allow you to place out of classes like freshman English etc. Be careful though, DS had so many AP credits when he graduated from high school that he started as a sophomore at UMD. That wasn't the best scenario for him because he was thrust into upper level classes and just was not prepared for them. The reality is that AP classes are NOT equivalent to college level classes, but they are still great to take if you can do well in them. No one has to take the AP exam, but the schools do pressure the kids to take them if they are in the class. As a parent though, at $95 a pop, I would not sign my child up for one of the exams if they (and you) are not confident they can score at least a 4. [/quote]
