-- Posted by Anonymous at 3:37 pm on July 29, 2008 So my college sent me something in the mail yesterday that said I have 20 credits. Does anyone know if I automatically get these, or if I only get them if they are in my curriculum? -- Posted by Skip at 3:38 pm on July 29, 2008 you get them because they are in your curriculum & you completed them -- Posted by hazeleyedangel at 3:39 pm on July 29, 2008 you probably got them based on your AP testing scores. No one automatically just gets credit for no reason. -- Posted by Anonymous at 4:33 pm on July 29, 2008 Quote: from HazelEyedAngel at 6:39 pm on July 29, 2008 you probably got them based on your AP testing scores. No one automatically just gets credit for no reason. I mean, do I get the credits automatically because I scored high enough on the AP tests, or do I only get credit for the classes I would have had to take anyway? If I'm a business major who doesn't have to take Lit 215, and I scored high enough on AP to get credit for it, do I still get the credit even though I would never have had to take the class? -- Posted by xcutioners at 9:36 pm on July 30, 2008 I got none. 1: psychology, English, Calculus 2: biology -- Posted by Rickenbacker at 12:46 pm on Aug. 1, 2008 Yes. You get credit even if you  would have never taken the class. I came in with 18 and it helped alot, plus is boosted me into Calc 2 as a Freshman which was advantageous seeing as I am a math major.
