    Questions students ask

    What AP® score do I need for credit at Brigham Young University?

    It depends on the exam: from a 3 on some exams to a 4 on others. Add your exams in the calculator above to see each one.

    How much credit can one AP® exam earn at Brigham Young University?

    Up to 12 credits, on French or German or Latin or Spanish Language and others. On this list, one exam earns 3 to 12 credits.

    What if my score is too low?

    If your score is below what Brigham Young University asks for on that exam, you can retake the exam next May, take a CLEP® exam if Brigham Young University accepts it, or take a self-paced course with an ACE or NCCRS credit recommendation. Brigham Young University decides what counts, so ask before you enroll.

    Is AP® credit guaranteed?
