Has anyone used AP credits from high school on transfering to the big three?

I am asking because I score a 4 on the Calculus and US History exams.

It been more than a decade since high school, so I not sure they are still valid.

If I can transfer them in, I wouldn't have to take calculus I again which would be huge load off my mind.

If anyone can give their experience that would be most helpful.

They'll be accepted by at least TESU. The snag is if you can even send the transcript. A few students have had difficulty getting older AP or CLEP exam results sent to their university of choice. Because they just kind of archive them and things get weird.

What degree do you want? Most don't even require Calc. If you want TESU's BACS, and can't get the AP results sent in for whatever reason, you should be able to breeze through Sophia's Calc.

@smtGate, Welcome to the board, in addition to what you've asked, it's better to also bring in more info by filling in the addendum and template.  It's great asking questions and getting answers... Having said that, to help you more, you want to let people know exactly what you are trying to do by providing a bigger overview so we get the full picture of your scenario.

To answer your questions: Most of the institutions we recommend will take the AP classes for credit, depending on the degree program and institution. There may be a requirement of it being a few years (up to 10 or in some cases, more). I'd say the AP class you have should be fine, if not, as mentioned by Rachel83AZ, you can do the Sophia.org... You need to tell us much more for us to help you, fill the addendum/template and we can provide better advice.

Excelsior accepted my AP credits, and I had a ton. The only disappointment I experienced was that I didn't realize that the Literature & Composition exam and Language & Composition exam were considered duplicates. I only got credit for one of them, instead of both of them.

UMPI will accept them with certain scores. Most colleges will accept them if you're above a certain score.
