[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I remember correctly, none of the schools my DC applied to this year would give credit for both AP Lang and AP Lit - I think all the schools would take one or the other (and it didn't matter which one) - Lang and Lit both secured the same credit, satisfied the same core course or same writing requirement. And, no school will ever know while you are applying whether you took the test or not.  So - just look carefully at your DC's college list and double check - but it's my guess your DC can skip this second English AP exam [/quote]

How can we find out if a particular AP exam gives credit at a  college? Is this something the common app informs before sending the application to that college?[/quote]

It's not the AP exam giving credit at the college--it's the college's decision whether to award credit for the AP exam score.

Different colleges will have different policies, so really you have to individually look up each college and see what they offer.  Most colleges have a chart on their website.  As an example, here is Virginia Tech

So if you are wondering about a different college, just google "X college AP credit" and you should be able to find it.[/quote]

Thank you. What does award credit for AP exam score mean? are they credited towards graduation requirements? Technically, if more the number of AP exams awarded credit, the earlier they would graduate? [/quote]
