Minimum age for testing and enrollment

Some say you have to score a 5 on an AP in order to get credit - when a large portion of AP takers get less than 3 - approx. only 15% score a 3 or higher. However, I also checked with another friend of mine today whose kid is a Junior in HS - my friend is also a Professor at Galludet in DC and has been hearing this from other educators and students. >>


I just wanted to add that your professor friend is mistaken. They have an excellent AP policy- accepting and granting credit for all scores of 3 or higher, and INSIDE a major too. Furthermore, they award tons of credit. AP Biology, for example, earns 8 credits (!) as opposed to CLEP's 6. They are very generous, offering much higher credits than CLEP in almost every subject.
