Usna AP exam question

[Beau0624]

Does USNA see your senior year AP Exam scores?

 

[Kierkegaard]

Only if you opt to send them, which you might need to do if you're trying to validate certain courses.

So theoretically I’m not required to report any?

You will test Plebe Summer to learn whether you 'validate' courses. Your AP scores are not taken into account, you still have to test. My son did not report his AP scores, validated out of one math level and declined the 'jump' to the next level math. Good luck to you!

If you look at the USNA website here: https://www.usna.edu/Academics/Candidate-Information/Course-Validation-Policy.php
you will see that AP scores are indeed accepted for validation in Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics, English, History, Political Science, Language (only French, German, or Spanish), and Intro Psych.

Send those AP acores!

My son's AP Scores are on his official HS transcript...

My DS's AP scores were also on his High School Transcript, but the transcript they saw (with his application) just covered his first six (6) semesters (through the end of his Junior year), so there were quite a few more scores to send from the College Board after that. The SAT Code to send scores to USNA is 5809 (Same code for AP scores). The ACT Code to send scores to USNA is 1742.

He'll send more scores after he takes the last round of AP exams to finish up his senior year.

I don't think they take AP score for Chemistry. DS will have to take the validation tests for Chem 1 and 2. They will take an AP Bio score of 5 to validate biology, this is what is listed in your link above under Chemistry.

 

[THParent]

Absolutely. Biology is pigeonholed under the Chemistry Department (and that's what the AP test will validate you out of), but validating Chemistry 1 or Chemistry 2 is by test (at USNA) during Plebe Summer. Upper-level Chemistry courses can be validated by having an interview and taking a test, as well.
