Uploaded by Rhys

Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) score-to-credit mappings for course placement. Tables list AP test categories (including government, sciences, languages, history, and math such as Calculus AB/BC) and show which internal college courses receive credit at score levels (3–5), along with cases where no credit is awarded. A separate IB credit table links IB subject scores (7–4) to credit hours and specific course equivalents, plus notes on eligibility and verification requirements.

FAQs

How does the document determine course credit from AP test scores?

For each AP subject, the table maps score levels (3, 4, 5) to the corresponding course equivalents and credit hours. Some subjects specify no credit at lower score ranges.

What information does the IB credit table provide?

The IB table lists IB subject areas and connects each score band (7 down to 4) to credit hours and internal course numbers, including cases labeled as no credit.

Are there eligibility rules beyond the test score tables?

Yes. The document includes eligibility guidance indicating that course credit may depend on the received test scores and requires verification with the testing agency or a home report copy, with explicit exclusions for scores 1–2.
