If you want college credit for an AP class I believe you have to pay a fee for the final exam and get a certain score on it ..B??? .. it would be interesting to see if the token students take the exams or pass them ..

For our high school, the grant pays some of the test fees, some not. I had to pay 87.00 for the History AP test, I think, or it could have been the English one. Heck, I just write the checks as they ask for them. Daughter made a 36 on the English portion of the ACT and Auburn gives students making a 35-36 6 hours credit for English 101 & 102, I think, so the AP English score didn’t matter anyway.

Depends on the college, I believe scores range from 1 to 5 with 5 receiving the most credit. 3 gets you maybe some credit. Below 3 you get nothing.

The AP tests are scored on a 1 to 5 scale. At some colleges, you have to score a 4 or 5 to receive college credit. At others (including the local, state university), a score of 3 is enough to obtain credit. Princess riverdawg says that a score of 3 is pathetic if you stayed awake during class.
