Are AP scores validated at West Point? It's about time to start signing up/paying for AP tests and I was just wondering if i'll get any credit for taking and passing my exams.
You will have to test out of most of them. Having a 5 is a pre-requisite to test out of certain ones as well so if you want to validate classes, take the AP exams.
WOW thats unfair
Does that mean that I shouldn't take the AP exams for classes I dont think I can get a 5 in? Getting a 5 on any test is a big challenge and I've never gotten a 5. All the past AP tests Ive taken in high school are mostly 4s and one 3 or so...they've all gone to waste!
That doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. Everyone everywhere gets the exact same AP test so if there's people who got 5s who aren't able to pass the validation tests, it doesn't seem like people with lower scores would be able to. And also, AF said CERTAIN tests, not all of them. So you could still possibly validate classes even if you've never gotten a 5.
Before I go about taking extra tests (through self-study), I want to know out of these tests which will validate (or in more proper terms, be taken into consideration) required (regardless of major) courses at USMA:
AP Psychology
AP Spanish Lang
AP Computer Sci
AP Phys C (if already taken AP Phys B)
AP Stat
AP Bio
AP Enviro Sci
