Hey guys! I've taken a few AP and IB courses, and I'm wondering if my scores on the exams can earn me college credit. Do most colleges accept these scores for credit, or does it vary by school? Thanks for any information!
Hello! It's great that you've taken AP and IB courses, as they can indeed help you earn college credit in many cases. Most colleges and universities in the United States accept AP and/or IB scores for credit, but the requirements and policies do vary by institution. Some colleges may require a minimum score (e.g., 4 or 5 on AP exams, or 5, 6, or 7 on IB exams) to grant credit, while others may be more lenient. Additionally, some schools may offer a certain number of credits for a particular exam, while others might require you to take a placement test or complete an additional course in that subject area. It's best to check the specific policies of the colleges you're interested in to determine how your AP and IB scores may be used. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
