AP Biology - The only truly hard class of the four. Like regular Bio turned up tri-fold. Macromolecules, functional groups, cell structure all in immense detail.

APUSH - The teacher assigns about half as much work than the previous one. DBQs are now due in a few days instead of the next day. The former did have a better personality though, he was the one that nicknamed me “32.1"

PreCal 2 - Initially not as scary as PreCal 1. It’s a lot of concepts and thinking, but nothing that blows my mind.

Chemistry Honors - Easiest class ever! (for now) Got a 98 on the first test. We’ve done sig figs, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and currently on atom structure.

Let’s end junior year with a bang. If I get a 4 on all the AP exams (English, 2x History, Biology) does anyone know how much college credit I will get?

Number of credits depends on the school. So does if those credits count as entry-level curriculum. Some schools will give you credit for Subject AP test, but still make you take Subject 101.

AP classes are a waste of time. You’re better off taking those courses at local community colleges while you’re still in high school.

AP Bio was one of my hardest and favorite classes. The things you learn will seriously leave you in awe with regards to how much we know about life.

Depends, 3-4 credits a piece is what classes are normally worth.

Most universities will have what they value each class at on their website somewhere.

Every college is different. Some give credit for a 3 on an exam some only give it for 5.

But my APUSH credit does nothing for me since it’s not required for Industrial Design, not even Gen Ed.

Fun Fact:

For Sweden is the only known student to receive a negative score on every AP test he took.

To be honest, the only benefit to the credits from APs is to get better pass times to pick classes. Most of the liberal arts shit left me boned when I jumped ship to a STEM major, but they guaranteed me the best times to pick classes.

I'm a senior in high school this year, and am still trying to figure out how many actual credits will count for the school I'm going to next year. Theoretically I believe it's supposed to be a credit per class? But don't hold me to that. Is this going to be your first year taking AP tests?

I wouldn’t write them off like that- there are pros and cons to each one. And, depending on your eventual college, since both can give the same credit, there’s no clear winner.
