The Instructions to Appointees Document answers your question:

"Prior to arrival, you’ll take a mathematics placement exam. During your first week at the Academy, you will take placement exams in general chemistry and foreign language."

"Validation: Initial placement and the validation of courses are handled synchronously. Your performance on the Math Placement Diagnostic will be the primary determiner of your placement, though other qualifications and measures may also be considered. Appointees who have taken (or will take) AP exams should request their scores be sent directly to the Air Force Academy. If you have received college credit at an accredited 4-year institution for a course with a similar description to any mathematics course described in the Air Force Academy curriculum handbook, https://www.usafa.edu/app/uploads/CHB.pdf under Course Descriptions, then your previous work may be considered as part of our placement process, depending on the content and quality of the course taken and the grade earned. As DFMS does not have access to transcripts from your admissions records, bring a physical or electronic copy of any transcripts you wish to be considered directly to DFMS. Advanced placement through our process may result in the award of validation credit for certain mathematics course(s)."
